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...

Someone I knew once . . .Asked me to help her check her email. Bearing in mind it was a webmail system, which some people were unused to, I agreed, only to find 6 windows of webmail already open on her machine. When I mentioned this, I was asked:
"What are windows?"
She used to be a hospital receptionist.
