He was very helpful. He invited me to sit down in front of the computer screen. I did not know what it was called. When I asked him what it was, he said that it was a VDU. I still didn’t know what VDU was, but I was too shy to ask him any more. From that moment my memory refused to learn because he told me a lot of things that I really didn’t understand at all.

Since then I haven’t said anything about the computer to my son and my secretary.
