How much "free" tech support would you give your neighbor?

Well, I told her I'd sell her the machine and support it anyways, just because she's my neighbor....But of course she acted like I never mentioned it.

So I said this is was the last time I'm going to help her this way, it's too time consuming.
 
I generally do it free for my neighbors, but I also say I accept payment in the form of food (most of my neighbors are retired). I figure that it will help in the long run for them to know me.

Yeah, I don't really mind doing it, but when it takes all day it begins to get a bit much.

At least she aknowledges she owes me a big favor, so it's nice to have someone available when you need them.
 
She will probably do the same stupid thing when she gets the Dell and call you when its full of spyware and gets infected with a few virus. Just say no. Unless she is hot...
