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 nanFinally,after lots of pressuring from me and the family,my Nan bought a laptop.
Have since been recieving a phone call every 10 minutes saying "oooh,I think Ive broken it!"
Also,when I showed her Windows Media player,she was utterly baffled,saying "But where's that coming from? Theres no tape in there is there?"
Bloody hell,at least she's paying me to teach her!
