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...

Parents. Wot they like eh??!!My Dad rang me the other day to say that he'd got a new monitor and it wouldn't work on his computer.
Turned out he'd bought a Nile Monitor, Varanus Niloticus, an enormous carnivorous reptile commonly found in Africa. Apparently the computer shop has an exotic pet store next door to it. How we laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed.
