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...

The things they say!I came across a pygmy from the upper reaches of the congo and I thought I'd introduce him to a car. Well, he got in it and he didn't know how to use the pedals or the gears or anything. Imagine! He just couldn't drive!
Of COURSE many old people can't understand modern technology! Maybe on the SAGA website they're laughing that we don't know how to grow our own veg or rewire a kettle.
This ain't funny - and it's getting more pitiful by the minute. Scrap it now and keep your dignity.
