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...

I work on the IT helpdesk for a company who deliver pizzas by skydiving with themstraight to peoples front doors.
One day I received a call from an irrate delivery man saying that he was hurtling towards the ground at great speed and felt sure he would die before he could deliver his 2 large pizzas, garlic bread and 1.5ltr bottle of Pepsi.
I asked him to talk me through what he had done so far. He explained that, as per instructions, he had leapt out of the plane, got out a cockateil and then blown it's head off with a hand gun.
"No!" I said "Not that sort of "parrot shoot!"
Then he pressed the wrong button on his computer and his legs fell off or something.
