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...

NHSI work in the NHS and the amount of idiot fat women of a certain age who work there who have no bastard idea about computers is staggering. One lady had to be taught how to use a mouse (now you've got to double click...no, it's got to faster than that..no faster than that..)
And another lady wanted to know how to make her browser screen go bigger, so i told her to press f11
A period of silence is broken by 'i can't find the 11 key'
What the fuck thinks i. I wander over and she's holding down f and looking hard for the 11 key
'do i press 1 twice for 11?'
sigh
and the government wants all medical records to be kept electronically now.
i would hate to be in IT in the NHS
