Fun day with Bob. Woke up to him yelling a the poor information operator trying to find the closest Best Buy. He said he wanted to call them to see if they had a battery for his HP laptop. Told him he needed to learn how to use the iPhone I gave him. Pulled out mine, pushed and held the home button and said Closest Best Buy. I popped up with the phone humber, address, hours, pinned map, and a button to get directions from his current location. He messed with his iPhone for an hour and wasn't able to do that. Even with simple instructions.

Turns out our Best Buy, with Geek Sqaud does not stock parts for his HP laptop like his does. He does had a $200 a year service contract with his local Geek Squad for 3 computers and his HP laptop is one of them.

Later we had coffee at Starbucks with my other brother. He told him about trying find the Best Buy. Other brother pulled out his iPhone, said "Where's Best Buy" and got the same information I did.

Helped him setup the old to me Mac Mini I am giving him. The new Mac OS wecome screen comes up and he asked me what to do. I said, "Read and Do what it says." Every time a new screen came up asking him to set a preference he would ask me what to do, got to where Read the $#@((! instructions was a more appropriate answer. He would say he is and old man, I would say that is a poor excuse for not thinking for yourself.

Personally think there are some people that just shouldn't have computers. Told him he needs to contact his local Apple store and take advantage of the free classes they have for using his computer.

Told me he asked the geek squad guys about getting a Mac. They said he should get one. He said they are too expensive. They told him he had already spent more money with them just fixing his PC he could have bought a Mac and not needed them. Sounds like they are pretty frustrated with him as well.
