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...

Take my mother in law....works for the NHS (a common theme it appears) - she is given a shiny new PC for her word processing work. Amazingly she transitions instantly without a single problem.... months later we discover why:
She replaced her under-desk keyboard with her old typewriter, didn't even bother turning the monitor on and typed everything the old fashioned way.
