Is that redchan or whatever? Sorry I only frequent ATS so I'm pretty unaware of other forums.
I guess this is ATS edition?

there are people out there that will try to get you to do their work for free. I do not mind helping people who are in need if I have the time, but most people just want something for nothing. I have helped friends on projects and they returned the favor. I have also helped people I thought were somewhat friends and they never return the favor, in fact they kept calling me everytime something went wrong. That is why I quit working on computers, I was fixing them for everyone and nobody ever gave me a cent, not even for the parts some times. I was good, but forget it, I just quit all together. I was always making house calls to take viruses off their computers or they had the memory maxed out. I had some impressive software I had gotten from other people I know who were hackers, I could use it to get into the computer to get rid of the viruses.

I have a friend who helps me build my computers (selects the parts, builds and sets up the base software for me), I give him all my old parts which he gives or sells to other friends he works with.
I believe it's a mutually beneficial system. Partially because when I get a new system it's one he has never built before (higher end), and the parts after 5 years (usual rebuild time) are still better than many of his clients.
