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...

Rock n Roll
Boss learnt how to blat emails from one person to another. The fun we had with the new starter. Welshman (as he's welsh) starts his new techy job all very enthusiastic, to the point which he puts a notice on the company notice board asking if anyone would like to start a company rock band, he plays guitar you see. eagerness shall overflow.

Cue bossman sending an email to welshman from gorgeous sexy single co-worker (how she ended up with us i will not ask merely thank god for)saying that shes got a great singing voice and would be really interested in helping him out.

At this point welshman cant believe his luck. In fact, as he stands up, i think he even did a little collar fluff, beegees stylee. he trots over, so sexylady, understand you want to sing with me?.

Sexylady, being sexy and confident and what not looks at him, looks at me, looks at whole office (yes, open plan) and says i have no idea what you're talking about, why would i want to sing with you?!

welshman being new and younger than her by some margin proceeded to literally die from embarassment, squirm around in the middle of the office not knowing what to do and sat down quietly. all the while mine and a select few "knowledgable" coworker's faces have gone a nice red hue as we struggle not to explode with laughter. poor welshman.

not apologising to you until god apologises to me, the length hurts to walk.
