I am a computer tech,.....*gasp*!! i make a decent livin, working a 40 hour a week plus run my own Computer consulting (computer repair mostly) business on the side. The business i work for now uses winternals, and tis a sweet program.
I have always laughed when i see those geek squad comericlas when they come on because i know how much they cost for the service you get. I apparently have a nack for this type of work and can repair most problems about 95% of the time without a wipe and reload you all speak so highly of.
If i could spend 2 hours blowing away everything or spend 4 hours fixen the problem, the customer would much rather pay to have the problem fixed do to the time it takes them to reset the computer back to the way it was before you decided it wasn't worth your time to get payed to perform a service that you told them you would perform.
i could talk all day/night about this stuff, and it gets me fired up because im actually good at it. and now im being told that i was wrong all a long. I should have just been blowing away computers because its easier and faster. Well i don't always take the easier and faster route. I take the customers keep coming back because they like my work route.
