@starless True. Their thought was that more expensive = best option. They weren't tech savvy people and refused to consider any advice. I had to dig the old computer out of the dumpster because they left the HD full of customer payment info in it.

They also had at least 6 old computers they refused to throw away because they had important files on them. They didn't believe me when I told them that I could copy all the files and put them on a single external hard drive. I felt bad for them sometimes, but when they outright called me a liar I left.
I was working for a small welder repair shop when they decided they needed to upgrade their office computer. I suggested a PC due to it being cost effective and compatibility with the billing software the office manager /owner's wife insisted on using. They decided on an expensive Mac setup and had to install Windows on it so the billing software would work. When I realized what they did, I asked what dumbass would pay 2,000 on a Mac setup only to use Windows and the wife said "me".
