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...

Disasterprone?You got a problem with me and my stories? You seem to know them better than I do myself. It's nice that you're taking such an interest in my life. Next chapter will keep you interested - I'm emigrating to Oz to marry a B3tan - but of course you'll think that I'm just making it up or copied the idea off a website..... Still - should give me some more interesting tales to tell.
ObTale.
BarBitch, my friend, personal shopper and bar-person extrodinaire has given me an interesting idea to try. She was complaining about the state of my keyboard (it was a tad grimey) and wanted to know why I didn't put it through the dishwasher. Apparently she has put hers through several times on the advice of an IT guy from work and it works a treat.
You know what I'm going to have to do now don't you? So if I'm missing for a while it didn't work and I'm digging out a new keyboard from my junk pile in the spare room....
Cheers
