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...

Made me smile commentA customer rung up from a house literally 2 minutes down the road from where I live, stating that her broadband has gone offline. After a quick bit of deduction I work out that her router has dropped offline, and most probs needs to be reconfigured.
"Are you sure?" she says.
"Pretty much so madam, how is that?" I ask.
"The guy who installed this works for microsoft, and he works with Bill Gates."
Oh, and he just so happens to live in Swansea too and install routers in women's houses. The company I work for has just merged with Virgin, that means I go for tea with the Branson every sunday you geriatric twat.
