Please don't forget about the computer technician.
John says to Robert over the phone: Please don't forget about the computer technician.
"the computer technician" - Why didn't John say "a computer technician" instead?
Actually before John said that he was requesting Robert to send some computer technician to his (John's) home to fix his computer. So I think "the computer technician" actually refers to John's request to Robert for sending over a computer technician. Do I make any sense? Please let me know. Thanks.
