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...

Paintbrushes badMy step dad had one day decided that the fan on our very old desktop was too loud and that the dust needed to be removed.
He went to the kitchen and got a paintbrush and proceeded to wipe the dust off the motherboard and everywhere else. Not realising that it would completely fry the entire computer.
That I could understand, but doing it again a week later to the stereo was just a frickin joke.
