Most of them complain, bitch > and snivel and have no respect. I don't agree. 90% of my people i have to respond (my clients) are not like that. They ask politely, but the problem is that they ask me to do things that is not my job, because "internet doesn't work". There are no connection problems, but as usual windoze doesn't work properly. I have to explain every time that they have to call some kind of computer/windoze service and pay to have things repaired. Some still insist that it's our fault, they we have to go to them, run some DVD-bootable linux distro with web browser and show that all is fine :)
