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...

My friend worked in tech supportand got a call from a gentleman whose computer "wasn't reading the CD he'd put in it". After spending close to an hour going through all the various system settings that could have affected the CD drive's performance, and finding nothing wrong, he asked out of desperation, "eject the CD and give it a clean, dust on the shiny side could stop it being read."
"why would dust on the shiny side hurt, I've got the CD with the writing facing down so the computer can read the text on it...."
