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...

Old-ishYears ago i worked for an isp. We had one client with a few servers which always had problems. So he paid us to sort them out, so we did.
The servers worked like a dream, we told him everything was setup and he didnt need to touch anything.
A few days later we get a nasty call, "The f**king thing is not working again!"
So again we check the servers, but everything had changed. When we asked him about this he simply said
"Yeah i changed them all, coz they didnt look right.."
Our reply "please take your business elsewhere sir"
muppet.
