What I want to know is what is the best way to refuse to help someone with their computer? This is especially tough when the requester is a friend or relative since they *know* that you are able to help them. Its a problem: I *can* help them, but I don't want to. Is there any polite way to extract one's self from this situation?


Move 1500 miles and two time zones away. It's a little impractical, but very effective.
