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...

Hold it down boy......I once worked on an IT helpdesk and was fortunate to answer the phone to an old biddy who worked in the shops dept, i had to remote on to her PC to fix outlook and here's what happened
Me: "if you see the mouse moving around, don't touch anything because its just me ok"
Her: "shall i hold it down?"
Me: "er, what?"
Her: "....if it moves around, the mouse will fall off the desk!"
Me: *laughs balls off*
Helpdesks are a place of evil.......
