Not really sucky but amusing none the less. I had sold a gentleman a computer not long ago, with the computer he also bought a new anti-virus software. At the time I recommended having us install it because he didn't seem to the most literate person with technology. Alas, I was assured this was something he was capable of.
About 2 weeks go by. Gentleman stops back in, tells me how much he loves his new computer. But there seems to be a problem with the software he bought. Conversation goes like this.
TC=Technically challenged
Me= The Jet Guy
TC: So where do I install the software at?
Me: Well when you install it the software will go on your hard drive.
TC: No, where do I put it?
Me: You mean the disc? (Thinking this couldn't possibly be it)
TC: Yes, where do I put the disc to install the software.
Me: Well it would go in the CD drive right here. (I proceed to press the button to eject the tray and point it out to him.)
TC: Oh, I think I put it in the wrong spot.
Me: Well sir, where did you put it? (Holy cow, he bought a laptop with only one CD drive. At this moment I'm thinking where he possibly could have stuck the CD.)
TC: Oh I put it in the tower.
Me: What? (Again, brand new laptop. No tower should be in this formula.)
TC: Yea I put it in my computer tower.
Me: You put it in your old desktop Pc?
TC: Yes, was that bad?
Me: No, not exactly. Your old desktop is now very well protected on the internet. But now you need to either purchase new software of the laptop or contact the manufacturer and have them switch the license to the new laptop.
TC: Oh ok, is that hard?
Me: Not really I can give you their number.
TC: Thanks, you know these things can get confusing.
