On a related note:
Back in the day, I frequently suggested to people new to computers
that, if they had a problem:
"Leave a pizza outside your front door and wait. Eventually
you'll hear a scratching noise. Open the door; it will be
a tech-geek. Point at the computer that's having a problem.
Don't try to make conversation; you'll just scare them away.
The geek will eventually go over to the PC and fix it for
you. He'll leave as soon as it's working correctly."
One client actually got back to me and said that they (more or less)
used that technique successfully. They bought some 'za, used it to
lure over the neighborhood 'computer kid' (under the guise of a
meet-n-greet with the neighbors, I think), and then casually mentioned
he was having a problem. Kid beelined to the PC and fixed it for him.
The client's conclusion (paraphrased): 'Best tech support I ever got.'
I've used a similar solution for people struggling to find a
game-master for their tabletop games:
"Leave a bowl full of Cheetos out on the door step and wait..."
Ugh, Cheetos. Can't eat cheetos when gming, can't touch my precious books with cheeto fingers...
