try, it says
'Can't find printer'. I've even lifted the printer and placed it in
front of the monitor, but the computer still says he can't find it... |
CU: I have problems printing in red...
ST: Do you have a color printer?
CU: Aaaah....................thank you. |

CU: A teddy bear my boyfriend bought for me in the supermarket. |
ST: And now hit 'F8'.
CU: It's not working.
ST: What did you do, exactly?
CU: I hit the 'F- key' 8 times as you told me, but nothing's
happening... |
CU: My keyboard is not working anymore.
ST: Are you sure it's plugged into the computer?
CU: No. I can't get behind the computer.
ST: Pick up your keyboard and walk 10 paces back.
CU: Okay.
ST: Did the keyboard come with you?
CU: Yes.
ST: That means the keyboard is not plugged in. Is there another
keyboard?
CU: Yes, there's another one here. Ah...that one does work! |

apple, a capital letter 'V' as in Victor, the number '7'.

computer,
but every time I move the mouse, it disappears! |

CU: (an elderly woman): Good afternoon! I have waited over 4 hours for
you.
Can you please tell me how long it will take before you can help me?

hours ago.
Can you tell me when you will finally be helping me? |

CU: I'm writing my first e-mail.
ST: Okay, and, what seems to be the problem?
CU: Well, I have the letter 'a', but how do I get the circle around it? |
