Ain't family great.

Bro Bob brought 4 iPhones this past weekend he had gotten from a cousin that passed away.
They are setup as those Go Phones that you buy so many minutes ahead of time and you have 30 days to use em or you lose em.
Bob who has a perfectly good iPhone bought $10 of time on one while he was here.
Says it is for a backup if his regular iPhone has a problem. Even though it has a different phone number.
Told him in all the years I've had iPhones I've never had an issue with one that wasn't fixed at the local apple store before I lost use of it.

When he told Tom, our other brother, Tom got pissed. Tom has been gifting Bob money to help him make ends meet. Bob only gets $1300/mo SSI. Tom lectured Bob on spending money on stupid stuff like that. That made Bob mad.


Oh yeah. Tried to help Bob setup the old Mac Mini I gave him. Instead of learning how to use the computer he ONLY wants to learn what to do step by step to type up documents and email the text from the documents. Told him he needs to learn how to use a computer in general, then doing what he specifically wants to do will be much easier. When I was telling him what to do, he would say, huh? So would tell him the same thing over only LOUDER. Then he would tell me I don't have to yell. &#((@!! did too or he can't hear, he is freaking almost deaf. Told me later that I upset people when I get loud when explaining things. Told him yeah, especially when those people are deaf.

Finally told him to go to his local Apple Store and have them show him how to use his Mac. Then it took almost an hour to explain the local Apple stores have a calendar on their web site that tells when they have free classes available. There is a different web site for each store. It has a calendar for just that store not all of the Apple Stores. And yes the calendar is on the web site even if it is a holiday or after hours and the store is technically closed. And free means it doesn't cost anything. Hence the term FREE. And they have descriptions telling you what each class is about. And NO, I don't know what the classes are or when they offer them, I am not a freakin syllabus for the Apple stores.
