Them: Hey, Dan! Can you spare a few minutes to help me with my internet? It running really slow?
Me: Sure, kid. Do your parents know you have asked me to come over to work?
Them: Aww, man! Comeon, dude! You know I don’t have any money!
Me: Tell you what. My lawn needs mowed this weekend. I will come work on your computer and you be here by 10AM on Saturday and mow my lawn in exchange for the service call. Will that work for you?
Them: Really? We can do that?
Me: Sure. Why not? I get to keep working and you get what you need from me. So, before I come over, what is going on with your computer?
Them: Well, in the evening, when mom and dad are watching different shows on Netflix and my sister is doing what ever she does on line, there is no speed left for my games. Think you can help me out?
Me: Maybe. I will have to see what I can do to tune your machine.
Them: Cool! Well I got this AOL disk from a guy at school. It says it for faster internet access to install it on any windows computer. Will that help?
Them: Hello? Are you still there?
Me: No, AOL will not help you gain faster access to the internet.
Me: you know, on second thought, I will mow the lawn, myself. If you still have speed problems, have your parents call me and I will come over to see what I can do to help fix it.
