Thanks to my mom, everybody in the neighborhood expects me to give them free tech support. I dont have the time or patience for this. My moms calling me a selfish <snip>. What can I do?

Not very helpful, Zelig. No matter how accurate it may be.

Tell them the first one is free, and like crack you'll charge for every one after the second.
