A true friend…
I don’t mind helping my friends fix their computers, but I have one condition…don’t tell anyone that I’m a “computer guy.” That is not the type of info that I like to spread around. In general, computer problems are a huge black hole in which one gets sucked and crushed. That’s why it is worth blogging that only a true friend will not only help someone with their taxes, but go to the lengths that uber geek Jon Udell goes to when doing the geekiest of all things…data conversion. Tim Bray is right, a PDF to XLS conversion is sick. All in all, I think this is a bad precedent for the geek nation.
Rob,
Not to worry, I promise to take down all the signs on Campus that have your name and number for computer help….just kidding! Thanks for your help…seriously, though, you are a life saver with computers!!
