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...

I know these will sound like Urban LegendsBut unfortunately they're true.
1) Spent 15 minutes the other day trying to explain to my mother that just because her laptop has a wireless card, when she takes it to the park it wont work, when she said the classic line "Oh! So the internet doesn't stay inside it then?"
2) Which button is the "On" button?
(She only has one button on the front of the PC)
