Just did a wipe/ reinstall and a HDD photo recovery (2234 pics) for a friend who just found out she might have Leukemia.

Told her it was no charge but she kept insisting so I told her it was a dollar.

After she paid me I left it on the keyboard when I left.

Some people get insulted, as in "is my money not good enough for you!?" ... I will take token amounts rather than risk that misunderstanding. A dollar is less than I might give a stranger on the street who needed to use a payphone, you know, on a street that has a payphone. Scratch that, bother to ask me for change for a payphone on a street that never had one and you might still get dollar for making me chuckle. Same goes for parking meters since I hate meter maids.

I've had people insist so I told them to write a check. On my way out I tore the check in half, left it on the desk and wrote paid in full on back of one of the halves. I don't do free work a lot but when I have it's usually gotten me 4 to 5 new customers by word of mouth, all knowing I was skilled and reasonable not free.
