In addition to finally writing down the details of his infamous cluster-copulation on Thursday, Mark Steel also gives us reasons to pause when selecting from several local “on-site computer repair” talents around Knoxville. We’re taking specific note of things like:

- intentionally breaking things in order to invoke service calls
- sales pitch intended to frighten people into buying new hardware
- charging extra for rquipment broken by installers
- setting your computer on fire
