Well I'm about done doing side work for ppl. They think cause I know how to do it, I should do it cheap for them or because they know a family member of mine. Listen woman go look at the geek squad rates & when you realize I only was charging you1/5th of what they want, well u can go pay them since you don't realize how nice I was being anyway.

I've spent enough time in my life doing thankless jobs for people in some form or fashion. It's about to end.

^truth!

Computer techs are kinda like accountants, as soon as people find out what you do, they're immediately bugging you with a ton of questions. I've heard "can you do my taxes?" so often I want to scream!

At least you can predict when you will be hearing from random friends and family.

Probably internet, email, apps. Nothing major. Just general browsing.

It's about a $200 difference. And from where I'm standing they do the same thing. One is just physically bigger than the other. An apple aficionado would have to correct me.

Get the bigger one. Old people don't like tiny little **** that is harder to see and maneuver around.
