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...

Ooh me dad, not again!My Dad rings me and says he's having trouble with his motherboard so another hard drive should fix it. Can't see how says I. Course it will, it does every time replies he. It turns out that he was going to take his mam from John o Groats to Lands end in really old car with no suspension using only B roads and dirt tracks in order to alleviate her indifference. Oooooooh not that kind of "Mother-bored" howled I. Yes says he. Not that kind of "Hard Drive" squealed I. Yes says he. Only thing to do in a situation like that is laugh. So we laughed. And we laughed. And we laughed. And we laughed. And we laughed. And we laughed. And we laughed. And we laughed. And we laughed. And we laughed.
