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...

Mutinous Dogs!Get back in your boxes! If I had to put up with that Crap Poetry QOTW then you can put up with this one...
ObTale.
Last night I was rung up by a nice lady who wanted some advice. She wanted me to build her a web page that consisted solely of affiliate advertising links and nothing else. She was convinced that she was about to make her first million by all of those millions of users on the internet coming to her page to click her links.
She couldn't understand when I tried to tell her that nobody would ever visit her page unless she put some content up there - some reason for people to visit her page. In the end she got quite offended when I refused to take her money to build a pointless page. She ended the call warning me not to steal her idea and said she would get a "professional" computer person to give her what she wanted.
Meh!
