Oldies vs ComputersAs someone who is "good with computers" I get a lot of calls from people who've got problems. Some of them even have problems with their computers.
Back many years ago working for a telecoms company, I was called to a senior secretary who "had put a disk into the drive and couldn't get it out". She had one of the first Mac II machines with two drive slots. But only one drive.
Opening up the case revealed stacks of floppy disks that she'd been posting through the hole in the case for weeks. She'd only decided there was a problem when her boss wanted one of them back...

Old and not so oldTwo for you here,
1) My dear old mum, when using the PC she will look at the screen to see where the pointer is, then look at the mouse then move it a bit and then check the screen again to see where the pointer has gone. And repeat until the pointer reaches the intended destination. Aww bless.
2) My mate is 27 and an IT support manager. A few years ago with his first mobile phone he complained for weeks that no one ever called him. We had all tried to call and send texts but told him we never got replies.
Asking if his phone was ok he said "yeah i leave it on standby..." So i checked this out, his phone was turned off. oh dear, he thought this meant it was on standby. And yes we did mock him, lots.
