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...

Dangerous things consoles...When myself and my brother managed to get hold of the mighty N64 back in the day, after watching us playing it a bit my mum took a liking to playing mario (and other similar games)
Sounds quite good, apart from one fact, as soon as she grabbed hold of the controller the couch became a dangerous place to sit, as mario slid down a hill dangerously close to the edge and my mum frantically waved the controller in the opposite direction in the hope of getting him to go the other way
You became a bit wary sitting next to her when someone was playing after getting clocked on the side of the head by a frantically wved controller once or twice...
Somehow I can tell she will like playing with the Wii (and the living room will become a warzone of swinging controllers yet again)
