Totaled

Just as a car can be “totaled”
after an accident, I am running into more and more computers that should
be “totaled”, as well. A piece of Spyware can have infected
someone’s machine so badly a complete rebuild is in order and the
cost of my time to do that is simply more than the computer is worth.
While I can understand this with older systems, running Windows 98 or
2000, I am starting to see this effect even on computers that are only
a few years old. Even in our current “disposable society”,
I still have major issues with telling my clients to “throw it away
and get a new one.” That said, I understand that the clients would
be better off spending their money on a new computer, rather than paying
for my time to fix their old one.
