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...

Not so much computers as Mobile phonesI work for the retail branch of a large multi-national mobile phone network. I've had to deal with all manners of weird and wonderfull enquiries. Here follows a selection.
Old man- Do you have car chargers?
Me- Yes, For which model?
Old man - A fiat punto!
Old woman- How do they know where to ring me?
Old man- Why wont my phone Ring?
Me- You need to turn it on Sir?
Also I have seen old people talking to Atm's telling them how much money they want!
