What’s different between a hardware and a software techie?
I have a friend who works part time repairing computers… when clients bring him computers he would fix it for them there is no computer he couldn’t fix. Some of my colleagues say even though he is good at computers he is a hardware technician. It doesn’t make sense?

Based on your stories that "there is no computer he couldn't fix". Your collegues made such a comment that he is a "hardware technician" since he fixes HARDWARE - which are tangible stuff such as the whole CPU itself or individually its parts, etc.
Now software techies are mostly programmers who are at best "fixing" software-related problems in your computers, like when your Windows doesnt work, some annoying thing pop in your desktop, and etc.
Hope that helps.
Your friend knows both & your collegue are incorrect. Let me tell you the difference between hardware & software. CPU, motherboard, monitor, key board hard disk cdrom drive etc are hardwares & WIN XP Microsoft Office etc are software. In nut shell your PC without software is hardware & Hardware + Software= PC.
Hardware is visible thing and software is an invisible thing.
what we can touch in a computer is hardware.
what we can feal in a computer is software.
Hardware is easy to learn when compare to software and the requirement is also more in the software.
