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...

old fartedOr was it a brain fart!!!
After reading quite a few Oldies messages trying to get to 'post' I forgot the story I thought of.
Ho!!! I just remembered it, which is quite something as I'm 70.
My son wanted to set me up with High speed internet but I liked my not-so high speed dial-up and told him to fuck off and leave me alone or I would leave him alone with out my money I was saving not useing HIGH speed anything when I went to the great hard drive in the shy. After going to California (I live in AZ UASS) I came home hoping to get my E-s after about 5 minutes nothing came up, I had as allways gone to the can got caffee and looked to my mail (in english, went to the luve(sp) had tea and looked to the post) and still I did not get anything online. I called my son and asked if he would come over and fix it. He asked me what I see and I saw a page which I had no reasion to know of and told him so. He asked me what I was doing 'right now' and I said I was talking to him on the phone,so what?
Just think he told me.
Then it came to me he had set me up with High speed other wise I could not be talking to him on the phone. I canned the high speed and returned to slow speed dial-up.
