An Old Dog and New Tricks
Looks like you can teach an old dog new tricks after all... My Dad who's never had a mobile phone in his life, nor ever wanted one no matter how much badgering he's been given over what a dinosaur he is, has finally taken to having one!
I gave him my old phone with a new hotlink card and now he can't stop using it. Every so often, I get calls from him with a major crisis on his hands. Here's a couple of our recent conversations over his new toy:
Dad: The time came up on the screen so does that mean the phone is fully charged?
Me: No Dad, that's just the screen saver.
Dad: The phone's packed up... I was talking halfway and the phone died. I went to charge it and nothing happened, the screen is still blank.
Me: That's because you haven't turned the phone back on.
Dad: How do I do that?
Me: Press the little round button at the top of the phone and hold it down until something happens.
Dad: Oh! *laughs* It works again.
Yes... An old dog CAN learn new tricks...
