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...

MEN vs M.E.N.A friend of mine who really should know better (runs his own business developing software for national companies) once wanted to check the upcoming gigs at the Manchester Evening News Arena, so innocently typed 'www.men.com' into his web browser.
As he put it, "before the page had fully loaded I had a member of network admin asking me why I was trying to download gay porn"
