<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Prime Mover, post: 1711161, member: 38783&quot;]Point taken, this is where my lack of knowledge of the Lincoln series and the difference between Matte proofs and normal proofs comes in... maybe I&#039;m ripe for a similar situation?&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with your comparison in spirit (BTW, I did almost the same exact thing recently with a friend&#039;s computer, but luckily we identified the bad DIMM before spending the money on a new HDD).</p><p><br /></p><p>But as an aside (not for arguments sake but more of a discussion point) I think your example has a fundamental difference - you made an improper diagnosis, but the information you were working on was correct at the time, you honestly believed it was the motherboard.&nbsp; You didn&#039;t know it was the DIMM but steered them to the MB regardless in order to make a better profit (I&#039;m taking the leap that you were also selling them the computer/parts in this theoretical situation).&nbsp; If you were doing volunteer work and you were giving an honest opinion and helping them with no expectation of compensation it&#039;s different than if you were the computer shop giving them a recommendation that furthered your bottom line at an unnecessary expense to them.&nbsp; Either way in your example the right thing to do would be to inform the person you made a mistake, if nothing else they will appreciate the honesty and may even let you keep the old hardware simply for spending the time helping them if it indeed was volunteer (have had that happen before also).</p><p><br /></p><p>Either way I agree with your train of thought and stated actions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
