Haves and Have Nots

If I was being vaguely big-headed, I would say that I perform a reasonable public service for friends and relatives, acting as an unpaid unofficial IT support helpdesk, providing dubious untested advice and often causing more problems than I solve. Of course, then there are friends who act in that role for me, except that they more often than not get the right answer first time. John Naughton in the business section of the Observer identifies a new digital divide; those who have access to free IT support like that described above, and those who don't. And he's right in saying that it is a considerable business opportunity.

Mate, it'll be a cold day in hell before I know more about I.T. than you do! It's all bluff, see...

Oh crap - does this mean you've worked out that the only reason I'm going out with you is that you always fix my mum's PC? x
