============
This is a guide for classifying technicians.  The higher the number,
the less  desireable the technician is:

7   Bill, the village idiot.
    Bill is totally incompetant.  The only reason he is working is
because he is 1) married to the boss's ugliest daughter, 2) the
boss's son or 3) the son of the boss's boss.  You might as well kiss
your computer goodbye once it gets into Bill's hands.

6   Mr. Rent-a-tech.
    Mr. Rent-a-tech is the guy who gets contracted out by a company
to fix computers. Mr. Rent-a-tech is called in when you live outside
of the Manufacturer's rep's service area. Mr. Rent-a-tech is really
Captain Hammer or Pop in diguise.  He's likely never seen a computer
like yours before and doesn't even know how to take it apart.  He'll
usually spend a few days making your computer un-repairable.  With
your luck, the warrantee will run out just before he is done with
your machine.

5   Captain Hammer
    Captain Hammer used to be a mechanic.  Captain Hammer never goes
anywhere without his claw hammer.  He uses his trusty hammer to seat
expansion cards so they will never come out and to pound in those
pesky chips which are trying to unseat themselves.  While clawing out
an expansion card or memory chip, he can sometimes remove the slot or
chip     socket from the motherboard at no extra cost.  He usually
finishes off your computer by yanking it off your desk because he
snagged his coat on one of the new nails protruding from your case.

4   Pop from Mom and Pop's 'puters
    Good old Pop really tries but he really doesn't know a thing
about computers.  He jiggles boards around just to see if they are
loose while the computer is still powered up.  He'll even pull boards
out and reseat them while the machine is running.  Some of the
expansion boards in your computer will end up in the wrong slots - 8
bit cards in 32 or 16 bit slots and 16 and 32 bit cards placed in 8
bit slots.

3   Try everything Fred.
    Try everything Fred tries everything the can think of which is
not related to the problem just in case.  Unfortunately, Fred does
not know how to properly re-connect things.  So expect your hard
drive to be connected to your floppy controller and your floppy drive
connected to your ESDI controller.  He'll even plug things in
backwards just because its easier to plug them in this way.

2   The guy from XT's R Us
    This guy knows only a little bit about computers.  He'll low
level format your hard drive at an 4:1 interleave factor that will
make it slower than a CD-ROM drive.  Basically, he got his training
from a institution which advertises on the backs of matchbooks and in
Popular Mechanics.  Any replacement ram chips he stuffs into your
machine are likely from some old XT.

1   Dr. Fixit.
    Dr. Fixit really knows how to fix computers.  Too bad for you he
is never around when you need him.  Dr. Fixit, never stays long with
the outfit he works at, this is because he usually finds someone who
will pay him better for his talents than his current employer.
