It should start out with your first answer being, Ok you buy the beer, then string them along with the rest of the conversation as long as he keeps buying!

I get asked about all things electrical, from cell phones, laptops, PCs, televisions, DVD players to wash machines and microwaves.
They usually start with “You know about electronics don’t you?”
Most of the time they’ve already made their product choice and are hoping that I will confirm their choice as a good one. The one thing I generally advise is to check the reviews online by doing a search on a product.
I usually tell them as long as it isn’t one of those “As seen on TV!” products that the product should work just fine.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

If the conversation starts with "So your in the computer business are you?"
Then I usually know someone is going to ask me a question not relating to my pc's in anyway.
Like the one guy asked me to fix his video machine and when I told him I have no idea how to fix it, he said but I just told him I'm in the computer business.
Another case, fiend's dad asked me to fix his GPS...

..with a predictable answer; "the cheapest thing you can get away with".
No, I'm not interested in comparing products, since they're already comparable. Go choose your color, the rest is non-sense.
Yes, *ANY* modern computer will have a fast browser. And yes, a fast word-processor. No, I don't care about your phone-religion - if you can make a call with your phone, the device works as intended.

they beg for my help when they f***ed up their computer, either by stupid user actions or from surfing for porn on Eastern block websites.

Ditto.
Or they come and complain that the PC is to slow because they got hoodwinked by the Sales person who sold them the biggest load of crap for top dollar.

Whenever someone I know comes to me and says their computer is slow, I say, "You either have a virus or a virus scanner."
Blank looks and much hilarity ensue.

Now, what websites would that be? I'm just asking so that I can warn everybody about them. It would NEVER occur to me to actually visit them...
