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...

The complexities of inkjet printers......whilst not a particularly complex subject did seem to be a bit lost on my dad.
My parent's old printer had finally given up the ghost and I bought them a new one and went round to install it for them.
Everything installed just fine and to test the machine, I did a full colour print onto 6x4 photo paper which came out looking very nice indeed - just like a real photo in fact.
Showed mum the print and she was suitably impressed.
Showed the print to dad, who asked where I'd got the photograph from. I explained that I'd printed it out just then on his new printer.
Cue baffled look and his response: "What, that's come out of our new printer? But it's only got red, white and blue ink."
Bless!!
