help loading Ubuntu

[David Fawcett]

Hahaha! All Daves. What a stereotype eh?

I felt exactly the same way about it which is why I didn't post publicly.

I couldn't agree more that good techs shouldn't work cheap and I don't lower
my prices because my competitors may be cheaper.

I'd imagine you find many of the same situations that I do, client initially
goes with someone cheap, they ends up getting charged them more than they
expected because it takes longer and the cheap tech either doesn't fix the
problem or causes more problems than they fix. Then they come to someone
like us. It may sound good because I almost always keep clients like that
(and this business is all about repeat business) but it still drives me nuts
how many cowboys there are out there.

Anyway, good luck to you.

Dave.
