Oldies vs Computers
As 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.

At work we got an email virus alert from headquarters.
It described the threat, and if we suspected that our computer was infected, we were to disconnect from the network, and "do not email or tell anyone about the suspected infection. The IT department will contact you about how to remove the infection."
