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...

Parents.....I'd kill them, but the inheritance isn't worth it.My Mother constantly rings me up and asks me things like: "How do I send an email to more than one person at the same time", or other things like that.
She's been using the same piece of crap Windows machine for six years.
My Father bought it because the Australian Government was handing out tax breaks if you bought a computer before the GST came in. He's never used it. Ever. He can't even look at pics off the digital camera he has.
And they constantly ask me for advice on how to do things on it. Yet my Brother works in IT.
