I'm retired as well and fix computers for seniors in the neighborhood. I don't charge them as many are much worse off financially than I am. I am also a Linux advocate and have restored old PCs and installed Linux to give away to those who have no other resources.

I have one lady who is the bane of my existence. She thinks she knows what she's doing but does not. This lady:
- Panicked once and completely restored her PC to 2012 without consulting me first, wiping out all her data that was of course not backed up.

- Wants a laptop but insists on hooking up a full size monitor and keyboard to it. She tries to plug USB cables into HDMI outlets when she doesn't have enough USB connection capability.
- Insists on the latest version of Windows but then wants to use Microsoft Works 2004 with it, or have a bunch of widgets that were deprecated because of security issues.
