&gt; This is why when you visit family for the holidays, you constantly hear &quot;oh, you work with computers.. can you see what&#x27;s wrong with my computer?&quot;<p>In my opinion, the correct answer to that is, &quot;Yes, for a fee.&quot;, and has nothing to do with the overloading of terms, but everything to do with the <i>undervaluation</i> of tech-related labor. I am perfectly capable of fixing your computer, I just don&#x27;t want to waste my leisure time doing it for free.<p>Next time you get this, tell the family (especially if they are distant family) – &quot;If your relative was a doctor, would you ask them to give you a quick once-over physical every time they came over? Or if your accountant brother-in-law comes along, do you ask them to glance over your tax forms for free? No? Then stop asking me to look at your computer.&quot;
