Just be glad you know how to do something that's clearly worth some value. Or look at this way -- next time your uncle's friend calls you so that you can fix his computer or console, send him this picture. Tell him you'll do it for half.

I wouldnt say theyre rich but theyre definately comfortable. Even if I were rich tho, all you really are paying for is for them to plug everything in for you and tell you how to work it. Read the instructions manuel and youre good.

If you don't know how to set it up, I don't see how you can know how to use it, so why buy it?

We have Geek Squad in the UK (in connection with the Carphone Warehouse) and there is just as much daylight robbery involved. Check out the prices of some of these one off fixes:

Move numbers and pictures safely to new phone - £29.99
Get BlackBerry and computer syncronised - £29.99
Device set-up and personalisation (including iPhone, iPod, BlackBerry, smartphones and satnav) - £29.99
Software installation - £29.99
Diagnostic to find out what's wrong with computer - £39.99 (note this doesn't involve fixing it!)
Consultation advice to help you get the most from your tech - £39.99
Mobile phone software update - £39.99!

Not to mention the online backup service is expensive compared to the alternatives. £7 per month for 20 GB?! Geek Squad is for rich technophobes...
