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...

Ah yesI used to work for PC ServiceCall, on the customer services side. This old Chinese bloke rang up, saying "Windows not working, Windows gone". So I asked him what the problem was, to be answered by the same response. Somehow I don't think he understood I was transferring him to our tech support department.
