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...

Having just set my parents up with broadband.I thought I would no longer have to put up with my mother maniacly shouting "I want Bulldog", every time there was the aforementioned ISP's advert on the TV.
I was wrong.
My mum still wants to know "why can't you have two broadbands in one phone" and "why do I get emails from a bank that I have never heard of, has someone stolen my identity?"
My Dad is slightly better, but does that dodgy two finger typing, and he sends me virals with images off here. From 3 weeks ago. From bandwagons.
