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...

been working for a newpaper for about 5yrs..had to fix an digicam card reader because the forceful & regular wrong insertion of cards had bent all the pins inside
mangled floppy disks being pulled out of zip drives
someone still doesnt know how to use a flatbed scanner after 4 years
'boss' (use that in the loosest term as he does fuck all) regularly drags stuff into other folders - 1 example being the weeks property section disappearing for about 3hrs until someone noticed the drag & the whole "A" section of ads going missing where he'd dragged, but then clicked cancel before anything else moved.
oh, and stretching some stupid unfunny 10x10px picture you got from a collegue to a 1280x1024 desktop looks shit, stop it.
christ, these people are annoying!
i'll stop before i get all worked up again :oP
edit; re. some comments about the QOTW - i have no problem with people who are crap with computers, but if u are - dont take a job that completely revolves around the fact you need to know how to use them well :)
thankyouplease
