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...

Start ButtonI remember when I got my first computer, me and my dad switched it on and tried to work out how to use it with windows help files.
We kept being directed to the start button, which we couldn't find. After a discussion with my aunt who worked in an office she said it was faulty and needed to be taken back to Trade and exchange centre where we bought it from.
The guy took one look and used the scroll on the monitor to make the start button visable.
Just shows its not just oldies that have problems with technology.
