Fixing computers and stuff

I like installing hardware so much more than configuring software. I am QUITE proficient at both mind you, but software can be so finicky and seemingly not want to run for no apparent reason. But hardware is easy. If it doesn't work you take it back or send it back. There is no diagnosing issues with hardware (assuming you installed everything correctly) because if a transistor or resistor or whatever is broke on a card/board no one can fix that except the manufacturer. And most times they don't fix it, they toss it and just send you a new one. The common person simply does not have the means to fix broken hardware. With software on the other hand this is not that case. Unfortunately for me software can in almost every case be MADE to work. And I can't simply leave something not working when I fix someone's computer. I have to make sure EVERYTHING is running smoothly and operates as quick as it can with no bugs or weird stuff going on. And I hate that. I wish I could simply say "Sorry, it just doesn't work." But no, if there is a way to make it work, I will make it work. <sigh>
