I never said it was free, but nothing close to the figures mentioned
earlier. Reality check guys: a desktop PC costs $500 these days,
spending $800 to repair a used one does not make sense.

If your desktop support guys are half-organized, they have a replacement
machine ready to install when the user calls for service, then the
machine that as problem (which often is PICNIC: Problem In Chair Not In
Computer) goes on the bench where the time it takes to reload a fresh
Windows is 5 minutes, time to plug the cables in and pop the Ghost CD
in.
