Unit 3 ITC Customer list

A. Mrs Patel.

I need a computer because of my disability. It's difficult to get around the house even. I want to use the Internet but I also do a lot of writing letters, often for the charity for which I am the Secretary. Not anything fancy, like newsletters but just writing to the organisers, my MP and all that. Sometimes I have to sign and envelope about fifteen letters. I could also E-mail some people. There's no point in me trying to answer the 'phone when my family are out because I can't hear exactly what the other person is saying. I am a little tight on money and don't want anything too complicated.

In downstairs bedroom: 'phone and elect. sockets on opposite wall.

B. Alton White.

I'm a designer. I do CD covers. Loads of money coming in and need a better computer because the specialist software I've got demands more than the one I bought two years ago. My clients E'mail me, but they expect me to write to them on headed paper with colour print samples. I keep my customer stuff and my private files separate- don't want to send a client my bank overdraft projections!

Oh yes, and Angie's stuff mustn't get confused with mine or the people at the record company will be told to visit her web site and see this video clip of her step aerobics classes. You see that little corner in the spare room? It can all go there, near her jogging machine.

In 'spare room'. In front of power socket. Nearest 'phone- next door in bedroom.

C. Henry Wilson-Jones OBE.

One does not necessarily find things easier after retiring. I do accounts for the rifle club and my daughter's getting married this year- I'm organising that! I'm still a director of the company, though my son runs it these days.

All this and I don't have a secretary any more so I'll need a jolly big desk to fit all the 'In-trays' in. Gosh, I wonder if I'll need a photocopier! The study's only about twenty-five feet each way. I hope I don't have to fork-out more than six thousand because I've already set aside three for the desk and so

on! I'm not made of money- have to drive one of those funny BMW's instead of the Bentley these days! (hard times)

Power and 'phone socket on opposite wall. Past door.

D. Angelica Costi.

I'm doing loads of assignments and look things up on the net, in encyclopaedia and write off to people. All my work will have cover sheets with things like pictures and fancy wording. Mum says "don't worry about the money. Dad's loaded now but will be broke in six months so strike while the iron's hot! Rip him off' she says. We don't have any money normally, so it can't be up-graded or keep going wrong after Dad's off again. It has to be right, straight away. I'm the only one using it. My brother will use the old one 'cos he's only nine and breaks everything he touches.

Phone socket down stairs. Power next to computer.

E. 'Doctor D.J. '

Yer, right, OK. This is it, I need a some serious kit 'cos I do a little business. I'm like a whole saler in the herbal scene. You know? Dates are very important in my business because I keep all my stock under the floor boards and don't want it going off, so it's delivered and gets collected the next day.

Then there's the accounts, which I sort off code so as you-know-who doesn't know what sort of money is changing hands and want me to take her out. I send out this picture of a car all smashed up as a little joke, if someone 'I doesn't pay on time. The computer is going in that little corner, with a curtain pulling across to hide it. I don't trust everyone who comes here, so it will look like there's just clothes hung up behind the curtain. I don't use E-mail and all that because there's people listening-in, you know. Official people. They don't like people in my business, 'cos they say all these herbal remedies aren't as good as going to your Doctor when you've got a bad back or heart and all that rubbish.

By the 'phone socket. Power on opposite wall, past door.

F. Tricia Jones

I don't have a lot of money because I just started the mortgage last year, but I've decided I'm going to learn the computer so that when Marcus starts doing it at school I can help him learn. It will be pictures, writing and a little bit of numbers- just to back-up what he learns at school. I don't even need a decent printer right now- just black and white, maybe. I've got E'mail at work and don't even use it there. It will have to go in my bedroom, some how.

There's no room in the living room or kitchen. It will have to fit it there, by the window, I suppose. I have a budget of just over £800

Power on opposite wall. 'phone socket in hall.
