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...

In me old jobAn old bloke brings in his PC to the main desk. Tony the manager spies him, smiles and calls me over. "Ohhh, these are always classic Jeccy, have a gander at this" he says.
"Hello Ton" says the customer.
"Hello matey....have you brought your PC with you? They're always amazing mate!"
The customer goes out to his car outside, and brings in this sparkingly clean PC.
"Tony, I knew what you were thinking, so I've cleaned the bugger first before bringing it in."
Tony puts on a piss-take sulky face while taking the PC off the customer and places it on the main counter of the shop. He turns to me and explains that this customer always brings in the dirtiest and most foul of computers, and they always have a laugh at his expense at them. I nod, then see Tony starting to open the computer on the counter.
He removes the lid, revealing a complete box of dust and dirt; there was somehow some fucking earth in the thing, and to top it all off, a big spider web complete with a disturbed spider is sitting in the middle. The spider promptly gets off his web and walks across the counter in front of us, while we piss ourselves laughing and point at it.
