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...

what all this thena few months after leaving home and leaving behind my fully working Pc and getting a brand spanking new one for myself i recieved a phone call then went a bit like this....
mum: i think the pc is broken
me: whats makes you say that??
mum: there is a siren noise and nothing works
me: oh.. sounds like its proper fucked
mum: yeah, what should i do?
me: wait til tomorrow and i will come round and have a look
mum: what about the noise?
me: what do you mean
mum: well its been making the noise for about 2 hours now....
needless to say when the fan falls off a cpu and a heat alert siren goes off and off and off and off the normal thing to do would be to turn off the pc and wait for help..... never mind.
got the pc up and running again with the help of a new fan only for it to get clogged up with "P0rn" that came from no where and crappy programs from a teenage sister....oh the joys of knowing about 'dem com-put-ers
