I talked to him yesterday. He did a job where he repaired 3 laptops, and charged the people only $200. 1 had a HD problem, one had some software opening and closing issues for the OS, and the 3rd had some serious virus problems.

He's a master multitasker, (say that 5x fast! ) running virus scans on all the systems while he alternated between fixing one, and the other, so as not to burn up too much of the customer's dollars.
