Comment on It really is heart warming when grandkids teach their grandparents how to use the internet

Decades ago I ran a “house doctor” service and I marketed primarily to seniors, because they had the money, and were least likely to want to crawl under the desk and start unhooking things, etc. I got so busy at one point I had to stop answering the phone.
Anyways, I remember this one guy that just needed me to get his printer working, so he could print bikini pictures from the Internet. Not porn. Not anything hardcore or even more lurid than that. Bikini pictures only.
I could not convey to him that with the Internet, you have infinite bikini pictures and printing wasn’t strictly necessary. I guess he wanted to beat off to paper? I didn’t inquire too far, just pay me so I can leave lol

Did he have a laptop? If not, he wanted to beat off in bed.

Yes, and he had all the wireless doodads, everything. Keep in mind this was back in the day when Wi-Fi at home was relatively rare.
I think he was just a complete kook. I mean it’s hard to describe all the details… But the way he kept his home, the way he dressed and kept himself. His insane comb over where the hair on one side of his head was like 4 ft long and he turned it into like this turban type deal. I think he was just low-key bonkers.

I like to imagine he just appreciates the forest porn he found as a teen, and wanted to return the favor.
