Everyone agrees 500 per day for formatting is a pittance. We should all agree too that techies are their own worst enemies. If today I pass over a job because you are offering me 5K for a job worth 10K, there is a hungry techie willing to do it at 3K, and yet another one willing to 'ho' it for 2K..So why should I be paid 10K? If we all stuck to our guns like your plumber, perhaps we would be a happier lot, and so would our plumbers. Food for thought: -There are far less plumbers than there are techies.....and they know it too :) So, if your local plumber demands 2K to fix your tap, format machines for 4 days.

Skunks,
As we argue about pay to format a computer, I bought an electric water pump this weekend for an apartment for 5K and on contacting a plumber / electrician to fix it he said he can only do it for 2K. I thought that job was worth 500 at most. The guy refused and the pump is still lying in my house.
Question? Btn a plumber and a technician who has more skill or valuable skills for that matter? How long will it take to fix an electric pump compared to formatting a computer? IT people really undervalue their skills. No wonder we will never be at per with CFO's in terms of pay yet it is the technology that's driving modern organizations.
