Mrs. Brady Goes Tech: Florence Henderson Launches "THE FLOH CLUB," A New Tech Support Service for Older Adults.
LOS ANGELES -- Here's the story, of a lovely lady...who is now bringing together something very new and exciting, and very different from The Brady Bunch. Florence Henderson is launching THE FLOH CLUB, a telephone-based technical support service aimed to empower older adults.
"It's like roadside assistance, but for your computer," said Florence Henderson.
Just in time for holiday gift giving to parents, grandparents and friends, THE FLOH CLUB, www.flohclub.com, enables members to stay connected with family and friends and tackle technology that they may find a bit overwhelming on their own. It offers affordable subscription plans and the comfort of North American-based experts available by phone to support them. THE FLOH CLUB is powered by Support.com, a leading provider of technology support services.
For young people, computers are fun and entertaining, a central and important part of their everyday lives. But for older adults, who didn't grow up with computers, they can be intimidating and frustrating. And older adults often hesitate to ask for help because they don't want to be a bother.
"I know how overwhelming technology can be. Only recently have I learned to share photos, video conference and send emails," Henderson said. "I'm genuinely excited to help make technology easier for people like me through THE FLOH CLUB," she added.
With THE FLOH CLUB, technology experts can guide members through the process of setting up, configuring and using hardware, and deal with a broad range of different software issues. Experts can either direct members or can safely and securely take control of the members' computers remotely. Available seven days a week between 8 a.m. and 2 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, the service offers a broad range of services including:
* Stay Connected -Understand how to use video conferencing, instant messenger, and the power of social networks to connect with your kids and grandkids
* Education - Learn how to get the most from your PC, from simple tasks like email to making purchases online safely
* PC Support - Issues such as slow/poor system performance, networking, error messages, virus/spyware removal, security and data backup
