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.

my brother...another one who reckons he knows a lot about computers.
came home from work one day saying he got a new computer.
me: why's that?
him: the old one exploded
me: any idea why?
him: the fan was making loads of noise so I stuck a paper clip in the back
after a bit of gentle probing (arf) it was revealed that it was power supply that he stuck the paper clip in.....
