Post subject:  how to stop being PC computer support
To stop my brother constantly annoying me with request to sort out his computer I have persuaded him to buy a Mac mini :twisted:
Yeah no more support questions, as I have explicitly told him I don't have the knowledge if he encounters any problems. :lol:

I have several friends and family on Macs now. I am happy to offer support on them because a) I sort of know my way round them a bit b) They almost never have problems and c) Using the Apple screen sharing feature I can usually sort out stuff from home.

I take the following tack. "If you buy a PC make sure you buy IT support at the same time because I won't touch them."

Job done.

:D

A common question aimed at me is, 'I can't get any songs onto my iPod, can you fix it?'

'No, it's iTunes and I don't go near that.'

:oops:

"I bagged a switcher thread"?

You people really are weird! What's next?
Blowing yourself up on London transport "for the cause"?

I am very worried!!!

Hey! Bagging switchers is a popular sport in some circles. Can cause problems though if two Macalites have been trying to bag the same switcher. Who gets the credit?

Same here, but on Window, Linux and Mac. It freaked out my gf's eldest brother, when I got him to sign on for sharing and took over his mouse! :lol:

Now, that's random and, may I suggest, weird. You should feel at home. :D

Yes but it is also very extreme to get out of providing PC computer support. ;)

Obviously.

Though I have to say that I've found most Mac users I've been involved with to be mild-manners and polite. I don't think any of them would countenance anything violent "for the cause".
