David’s mum Frieda was useless when it came to fixing computer problems. It was in part because she didn’t know how programs operated or how to REVISE / AFFECT / MOVE / ADJUST the settings, but it was also because she didn’t want to know. It simply wasn’t of interest to her.
So whenever something went wrong, it was David to the rescue. He’d always ask what she had done to it, but the response was always the same: ‘I have no idea. It’s just stopped working.’ David would have to ENROL / EMBARK / ENLIST / ENTER upon a mission to work out what was the matter.
It rarely took David long to solve the problem. He was a computer WHIZ / STAR / LEGEND / ICON who could take a computer apart and put it back together again. But he was going off to university soon, and what would his mum do then?
‘I suppose I’ll just call someone,’ she said when David brought UP / FORWARD / OUT / ROUND the topic in conversation. His mum managed a plant nursery and didn’t need computers to run her shop, although it was nice for recording the details of her business STUFF / CONTACTS / PERSONNEL / LINKS.
She knew the basics of computers, which satisfied her needs. She had DONE / GONE / GROWN / TAKEN accustomed to placing orders online, but when the computer froze up, so did David’s mum. She would just pull out her old-fashioned address book and call suppliers directly. As long as she could rely on a method that was tried and CHECKED / PROVEN / KNOWN / TESTED, computer problems were of little concern.
