This is a question Oldies vs Computers

As 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...

Netsend windup with the oldies in the office
Had an old manager, who was a bit of a windup bastard, but a good laugh too. Good with numbers, not all that great with comps and got slightly scared easily.

Cue me getting the Z number of his comp and netsending;

"Pornographic material has been detected. A member of Security will be with you shortly."

He fecking shit himself. Another manager twigged on, found that I'd sent it and he proceeded to hit me with a sponge office toy.
After he done that, he got me to wind up the office idiot with him doing ghost-errands, eg;
"Hello this is Mark (the manager), please come over and see me for a report." He'd walk over and Mark would swear blind that he'd done nothing. This carried on until Mark got me to send him a message saying he'd been reported on watching donkeys masterbating on the office computers. Thick twunt.
