Tech Support for Seniors





Tech support: What kind of computer do you have?


Customer: A white one...


Tech support: Click on the 'my computer' icon on to the left of the screen.


Customer: Your left or my left?


****************************


Customer: Hi, good afternoon, this is Martha, I can't print. Every

time I try, it says 'Can't find printer'. I've even lifted the

printer and placed it in front of the monitor, but the computer still

says it can't find it.


****************************


Tech support: What's on your monitor now, ma'am?


Customer: A teddy bear my boyfriend bought for me at the 7-11.


****************************


Customer: My keyboard is not working anymore.


Tech support: Are you sure it's plugged into the computer?


Customer: No. I can't get behind the computer.


Tech support: Pick up your keyboard and walk 10 paces back.


Customer: OK


Tech support: Did the keyboard come with you?


Customer: Yes


Tech support: That means the keyboard is not plugged in.


****************************

Customer: I can't get on the Internet.


Tech support: Are you sure you used the right password?


Customer: Yes, I'm sure. I saw my colleague do it.


Tech support: Can you tell me what the password was?


Customer: Five dots.


****************************


Tech support: What anti-virus program do you use?


Customer: Netscape.


Tech support: That's not an anti-virus program.


Customer: Oh, sorry. Internet Explorer.


****************************


Customer: I have a huge problem. A friend has placed a screen

saver on my computer, but every time I move the mouse, it disappears.


****************************


Tech support: How may I help you?


Customer: I'm writing my first email.
