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...

Part of my job is to teach old fuckers how to use a computer.I don't know much myself.
Often when showing them how to use a mouse and keyboard for the first time, I hear 'never mind all that how do I get on this internet thingy I keep hearing about?'.
Bless them. But if it wasn't for them I'd be out of a job.
