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...

Tis computer related but not technicalWhen I started my first teaching job as an English teacher I was also given the job of teaching ICT. Because of qualifications? Nope, because I was the youngest in the school and would therefore know all about them there computers... Good job I did know something.
Next job I went for I didn't get (a bit cheeky really expecting to become deputy head when I'd only been teaching 2 and a half years...) but the Head did employ me as Head of ICT.
Not bad for someone with no qualifications in computery things at all. In fact, when I was at school I wasn't allowed near the typewriters let alone the computers in case I broke them...
