How much do you charge a friend of Mrs. F. for sorting out their PC? It was a total of 1 hours work and actually was easy to solve once I realised what was going on. I didn't need to use my amazing gizmos to go tackle a virus, that had already been found and dealt with. The association file was corrupted in vaulting and destroying the virus. Easy enough to cure once I found the registry thing.
So what do you charge? I made a token figure of £10 but she gave me £15 which she felt happy with. If you had to do this on-line it would have cost close to £45 but that is extortionate. Goodness knows how much everyone has to pay to sort out problems on the computers caused by their anti virus software identifying a virus (as it is meant to do) and then messing the system up. Once I had cured that, of course, suddenly there were loads of updates streaming through and they probably had to sit there updating their machine for hours.
Why should anyone have to spend hour doing that sort of thing? I hope that, in my new business venture, no one will ever have to worry about that ever again. Now to go find a venture capitalist who sill fund us to build it......
