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 gran and my pcMy dad wanted to encourage my gran to try out my pc. So after much badgering her to do so and having told her it was like a type writer she finally gave in.
Using word she typed "THERE I'VE DONE IT" and then left it to go back to drinking Gin in her armchair.
Given the choice I'd have done that too.
