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...

When we found 6 ancient Toshy Satellite laptops in a skipwe felt we could spare one for my old dear, who was in her 70s and quite fancied trying that internet thingy.
We set her up with a spare modem and a name on one of our accounts and waited for it to blow over in a week or so.
Not a chance: she and her two pensioner brothers are all now on broadband on their posh laptops, sending email and photos to their respective families all over the world.
Silver surfers rule!
