The real moral of the story is, don't ever, ever help anyone with computer problems. I used to "help" people by building them setups cheaper than the OEM counterparts and thus, saving them money. When they came back to me with the problems they've caused and expected me to fix them, I couldn't take it anymore and stopped being that "computer guy."
I've avoided building computers for people for this very reason. The moment something goes wrong, be it faulty hardware or a faulty user, it's immediately your fault.
A good 1/2 the people would sue, even though you just saved them another trip to the OR.
.
Honestly, these days, I think people would also sue if you saw it and didn't remove it. They'd probably sue after waking up from a five year coma only to discover they hadn't been provided their favorite pillow while they were under.

But phoning a technical support client is a lot less problematic than waking someone up from surgery!
