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...

Versus my arseBill gates is coming up 52 (not a geek, just googled his DOB) that's old in my book and he's the fekkin daddy of all things computrified.
As for this wankstained question....
"My grandad fought in both world wars. He was awarded the victoria cross for bravery and single handedly took down a batallion of nazi tanks. When he was little, kids entertained themselves by hitting eachother with sticks. He was 45 before he owned a telly. But why the dopey old cnut can't configure the settings to get optimal performance from his wireless broadband router and integrate his new powerbook with his home network I just don't know - stupid bustad!!
My grandmother was a classical pianist and played around the world for royals and dignitaries, but the dosy ol biatch cant even work the megamix digi-dj application she ripped off kazaa last week.
I really enjoyed QOTW until now.
