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...

Elderly Guy using TV InternetA new and profound technology, allowing people of all types who do not have a computer to get access to the net, and cause havoc via a new medium.
Well, it was new about 4 years ago when we first started supporting it.
Some elderly gent was having problems accessing his emails through the Tv-Internet device. apparently the email window wouldn't display, which normally means there's a corrupt email or attachment which is cocking up the display. The fix back then was to create a dummy account on Outlook Express on my computer, then IMAP the account with his details into this. A quick purge of the account and I could view what emails he had and thus remove the offending mail.
Aha, just the ticket, one of his emails has an attachment. I tell him this and he asks me what's in there. I open it up and am greeted with 4 jpegs, so I tell 'im. Rather boredly, I happen to click onto one of these jpegs and am introduced to a lovely pair of lads sucking each other off in varying positions, much to the "Holy FUCK!!!!" gasp I shout out in the office. This only makes everyone else (including the management) turn around and see what I'm backing away from....all while the customer is still on the phoneline. The dirty ol' cunt.
