I was looking through my emails and something dawned on me. There are people that I know that only contact me when they have computer problems.
These people refer to themselves as my friends but to be honest, I realize that I don't really know them that well. Honestly, I can't really consider these people friends because I really don't know them that well. I'd say they're more like acquaintances.
They tend to drop off the radar for long periods of time and out-of-the-blue they email me for help with their computer. It usually turns out they've been carelessly surfing the Web without protection and that their lack of discretion has led them to contract some nasty online virus.
Most of the time, I end up helping these poor saps. I try not to be judgemental, but it does make me wonder who are my true friends and which ones are those who just want me to fix their computer. I guess this is the curse of being a techie.
