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...

I didn't have a story..until about 10 seconds ago..
when my boss asks me to help him download a large file. Fine. I get it going and saving to desktop & tell him to call me when it was at 100% and I'd come back and help him open it.
Fine, I thought.
I just get back to my desk and sit down to hear him say, "oh its taking too long to download I'm going to close it down and start again.."
Stand up, walk back to Boss's desk. Restart download. Make him promise not to close it down again until its finished.
Gah!
