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 lovely Ol' MumMy mum has started up her own small buisness, its a cattery and as she used to be a vet and loves animals its going quite well. She made herself a wee office in the basement of her house to do all the admin, but had some trouble at first with the computer, no not any of the office stuff she does all that by hand (Why buy a computer and have me install all the Office software?). She wanted to rip music off the net and put it onto CD to listen too whilst out in the cattery. It took us an afternoon and I actually made her up classroom like exercises to do, she even took notes. She thought she would never be able to learn how to use her "Expensive paperweight" and is now looking at ripping DvD's, I love my Pirate Mum.
