What exactly do they get them to do?
They ( the customer ) probably has zero computer skills (otherwise they 
would already own a pc )
They would need babysitting to do any computer work at all. Which means 
it would be more time efficient to just do the job ourselves.
The only thing they could realistically do is clean up the garbage..?
