In Pierre Trudeau, Canada has finally produced a Prime Minister worthy of assassination.

1. When you ask for computer advice, then don't take it, it is not the computer guys fault for not pushing it.
2. When you get advice from your computer guy, he is not trying to sell you something.
3. Do not lie to the computer guy. If your machine is slow, say so. Yes, you need a new computer. No, he's not just trying to make a buck.
4. If you have a long history of complaining that computer service costs money, your computer guy will stop recommending the best solution, and will switch to the cheapest solution.
5. No, I cannot fix a broken hard drive/virus scanner/etc over the phone.
6. Moving your OS from one hard drive to another, is not a 20 minute task. Do not stand around and expect it to happen before your eyes.
7. Recovering all of the data you refused to backup from a dead hard drive, is NOT a free service, nor will the hard drive manufacturer pay for said service.
8. My time is not free. Get over it.
9. Don't send your young attractive female employee to flirt with the computer guy in the hopes of getting a discount. It is insulting, and considered harassment.
10. Computer guys make mistakes. We do the best we can, but we are human. Remember, the number of mistakes we make pale in comparison to the number you make, and how many times have we saved your bacon and understated your stupidity.
11. Most importantly, if you are not backing up, and your computer guy has told you to back up, you should step away from the computer, and go back to an abacus/drafting table, because you are too stupid to use your computer.
