computer help

Are you the one who gives computer help to your friends or the one who asks for help with computer problems?
The more experience you have with problems and solving them, the more you can help other people with those problems.

I am a little of both.  I have a lot of computer experience and a fair amount of training.  I know enough to help sometimes but sometimes have to ask for help.

I'm the one that everyone comes to for computer help.  I just hate seeing anyone spend a ton of money on the Geek Squad when we all could do what they do and with the same programs (which, by the way, are all free) that they use.  Save a few bucks, help a friend/family member!  I'm on it!  :)

I tend to help family but I have several friends that work with computers for a living so I tend to get them to do my work for free

I usually can handle most of my computer problems, so can help others somewhat if asked.  Before I retired, my co-workers would ask me to solve a computer problem before going to the Tech dept.

I give the help.  I actually have people asking me to fix their computers a lot.  Mostly it's just cleaning out the case and such, but it's really weird when that's the request you get a lot.

I know some computer and I do help others with their computer needs and also their tablets, but I have cousins that know way more than me and sometimes I get help with them.

MY friends ask me for computer help all the time. It's pretty annoying knowing that they dont even give it a good effort before coming to me.

I'm not a computer expert, but for some reason my family seems to think I am lol.  I'm the one that they always call when they have problems.

I don't give help. If there is a problem I can't handle, I call for help.
