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...

Granddad and the InternetMy granddad was thrilled about getting a PC. He soon picked up how it worked and within weeks he was surfing like he was in Hawaii.
Unfortunately, his hard drive was confiscated by police after his browser tended to alight rather too frequently on sites such as "Lolita Love Buns", "Boy Ass", "Prime Kindergarten Poon" and "Barely Pubescent".
He's in prison now. So much for progress!
