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...

ComputerbinWorking as an IT Techy for many years (moved to management now and wish I hadn't) I've seen many wonderfull things computers have been used for. One of the most amusing was the old fella who used to work here who blatently smoked at his desk but was never caught. If somone was comming down the coridoor he would stub it out and push whatever was left inside a vent hole in his pc case.
This was all well and good untill the fans stopped working and his PC fried, I seem to remember him being quite pissed off at having to both pay for the computer and clear his desk.... moral of the story.... don't smoke (or is it dont get old)
