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...

Mutiny aboard the good ship b3taIm totally in agreement that this question is not very inspiring.
I saw the floppy disk drive story in a few tech support joke e-mails that did the rounds a while ago.
Bring on the real qotws!
Chthonic Edit: a tech support joke email? Really? Because, as I've already said below, it really did happen. I swear. She was very embarrassed about it.
