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...

My great grandmagenuinely impressed me with her computer skills. She managed to browse the internet and see where she wanted to visit, booked a flight, a hotel, all the various travel arrangements to get from one place to another and absolutely everything she would need on her holiday .. on the internet! That day my faith of old people using computers was restored.
(it all worked out well too!)
