Buying Memory

I had to fix up a computer for a friend a few days ago and I swear people are the cheapest mofos when it comes to computers. I wanted to get some new memory for this old Vaio Desktop but she is too cheap to even spend a dollar on this thing. She got the computer or free in the first place and she can’t fork out a few bucks for memory? This being the case when her main complaint about the computer is that “it is so slow I can’t even do anything on it” so can you fix it please? “Yeah I can, but you are going to have to buy memory for it can tell you that right now before I even look at it” so maybe get that stuff or at least plan on spending some money for new memory.

I knew it to .. as soon as I opened it up I say that one lonely memory stick in there and when I checked the amount of memory I was right again. 256 .. not a byte more. Ya know how sometimes you just know things? Yeeesh .. so this thing has been sitting in my house for weeks now taking up precious space and stinking up the area where my iMAC resides. Maybe from now on I only do over the phone diagnosis that way I won’t end up fixing everyone junk PC’s. Usually I just tell them to buy a MAC and that will fix all their problems with computing. But some people are so stubborn.
