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...

Got a few of thesebut one that immediately springs to mind is online shopping. One of my pals mums isn't very good with technology, and overhearing a conversation I was having with my mate about buying tickets for a gig online, she looked interested and asked "So, does that mean you can do your shopping on the computer?" Obviously, yes, but afterwards she asked "Oh, if it's done on a computer do you still have to pay for it?"
oh dear.
