I've been sorting some computer problems for a friend of mine. And she's really greatful for all the work I've done, and as she's a friend of mine, I don't charge. So now she's saying she wants to buy me bottle of drink or something to say thanks, I'm not really a drinker so that doesn't appeal. But the main thing I can't seem to get across to her is that I actually enjoy fixing computer problems, so I'm not doing it expecting any kind of payment. She think's that's a bit strange. Is this the diffrerence between computer geeks and non computer geeks?
