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...

Technophone/phobeMy sis got her very first mobile phone a tad after the rest of the UK did - she had resisted as long as possible but there is only so long one can hold out to peer pressure.
She got herself a pay-as-you-go one, which was fine and dandy for her purposes. She even managed to make and receive calls on it with little effort and was quite smug about it. However, the first time she needed to buy a top up card, it all got a little bit confusing.
She bought said card in the nearby supermarket fag kiosk and then once she'd paid, stood at the side of the kiosk trying to top up her phone.
The kiosk attendant kindly offered to help her with this when he spotted that she had removed the battery from the back of the phone and was trying to stuff the top up card in next to the SIM.... bless.
