This is a question Oldies vs Computers

As 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...

she's not exactly old
but i get the feeling that this question will decend into stories of computer abuse regardless of age anyway...

my sister having recently bought a PSP decided she would use the card reader in her laptop to put some songs on the memory stick, taking note of the fact that her card reader is compatable with memory sticks but not realising that the slot is the size of an SD card and therefore she needed an adapter jams the memory stick right in there, i get a call from her because after she noticed it was stuck her boyfriend tried to free it with a paperclip and now that was stuck too and the laptop wouldnt start up

i just wish she had came to me before getting a PSP, i would have told her to get a DS instead, of course after showing her my DS she is well aware of how the DS is far superior and wishes she had one

P.S dont like with this weeks question? then click here to show your unhappyness

apolgies for the length, i was dumped recently and i just dont feel in the mood
