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...

To IndecisivePhotoGirl..."[My dad] is actually fairly competent on the computer, but not so long ago managed to delete an entire, very big national company's (the one he works for, not some random one) payroll two days before payday.
He did fix it the day after but I'd still love to know what would have happened if he hadn't managed to."
