"MayIHelPoo?"
"I think it's unlikely."
??? "Oh, how's that?"
"I bought a computer in here a few days ago. I've never had a computer before, and I don't have anyone to help me learn how to use it.
I can't understand how it works, I'll never figure it out."
Now this woman was in her late 60's, maybe early 70's. That's VERY late in life to be learning something high-tech.
However, I've had dozens of elderly customers who bought their first computer and did just fine with it.
"It's never too late to learn, m'am. There's a bookstore across the street, I know someone who is available to give lessons...your options are many and varied."
"Books and lessons would be even more expense..."
And then she said it, the words I've been waiting to hear for almost 20 years!!!
"I'm just too stupid to own a computer."
Thank you for your honesty, m'am. You are a much better person than the thousands of fools I've had to deal with who were too proud to admit that they had no business owning anything more technical than a rock.
