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...

*sigh* I've got a degree in computers you knowwhich qualifies me to solve tricky puzzles like the following:
nice old lady at work phones me:
"hello bb, I have a terrible problem with my computer, it's completely frozen. I keep restarting it but it still comes back on the same frozen screen".
so I wander round to have a look...
...and I see she's switching the monitor on and off repeatedly, wondering why that "restart" wasn't clearing the problem.
aaaaaaaaaggggggghhhhhhh
