As long as there are people like that, we've got jobs.

HHmm...ok point taken. Guess they fixed that or something. It's been an age since I last tried.

[ptstech.livejournal.com]

ASCII Picard facepalm FTW!

[divavee.livejournal.com]

Aww old people are so cute.......

[falnfenix]

no kidding!

try this on for size: while working for Apple phone support, i got a caller who was in his late 80s and got his first computer: an Apple eMac (the big white CRT thing). he was probably the most interesting caller i had. he also listened far better than any other caller. ever.

Were they from Cape Cod? I run a town website and had complaints from an elderly man with an old mac laptop that he couldn't access it.

[lolotehe]

No, she was in "Floridah".

[jennielf.livejournal.com]

Hopefully not from the east coast. :)
We are in Melbourne.

[jennielf.livejournal.com]

Sounds like about 40% of my custs!

"Why can't I access my bank website??"
"Because you are still using the AOL browser."
"But thats how I can only get my email!"
"Ma'am, there are at least 2 other browsers out there that I can guarantee can access your bank website. One of them is standard on your computer."
"But will I still be able to access the internet?"
"..."

[canray.livejournal.com]

Say no more.

PLEASE!

[siliconshaman.livejournal.com]

'Nuff said.. *passes the vodka*

[miertam.livejournal.com]

Hat Trick!

[doublefelix.livejournal.com]

That... that exists?

[10001110101.livejournal.com]

Why does this sound like the beginning of a joke?

"An 80 year old with AOL Browser on a Mac, a priest, a rabbi, a horse, a black guy, a white guy, and the Chicago Cubs walk into a bar. Bartenders says..."

[ptstech.livejournal.com]

BWAHAHAHAAHAAHAAA!

*ded from LOLs*

[antikythera.livejournal.com]

My best customer, in terms of knowing that he didn't know some things and being able to listen and learn, was ninety-two.

It was the AOL part of your post that made me cringe. ;)

[antikythera.livejournal.com]

Also! Older customers are more likely to know their phonetic alphabets, in my experience.

[devilish69angel.livejournal.com]

In my experience older folks like this take instruction from us "young kids" a lot better than anyone else I have run into (as long as they are able to hear me that is)

but wtf AOL browser *head desk*

/esends you rum. Lots of. And Coke.
