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...

My OH repairs computers for a livingThe other week an older customer came in to collect his repaired computer only to find it was not ready. He ranted and roared and complained for quite a while and when he eventually ran out of swear words he asked why.
"Very sorry mate, but when I asked you to bring the computer in I did not mean the monitor!"
