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...

Old HabitsMy father-in-law never saves anything on his computer because it is "untidy and might fill it up". I doubt he has ever created more than 30 Word documents ever, but none of them exists any more. It reminds me of the Dilbert cartoon where the pointy haired boss is told he can save disk space by using semi colons instead of whole colons.....
