My mom's friend from Garden Club needed some help with her computer. I drove over to her house in Bear Creek Country Club and spent four hours tutoring her to use Windows XP on Saturday. She also wanted to back up her many digital pictures, so I picked up an MSI CR52-A2 (CD-R/-RW 52x24x52) CD burner on sale from PC-Club in Bellevue for $36 plus tax. They only had 52x media in 100-disk packages, so I bought one of those for around $22 plus tax (25 cents per disk is pretty cheap), thus she now has a lifetime supply of CDs to burn. I installed the CD burner and spent another hour explaining how to use it. She compensated me with $200 plus expenses and a quick piano lesson.
