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...

Re: SatNavI was in the car with a 55 year old guy who still thinks he's a 90's raver (and dresses like it: beads, orange baggies, UV glow stuff).
He simply refused to believe that the satnav voice was, in fact, not a woman that worked in a call centre talking to us live.
(Have great stories about him when an appropriate qotw comes along)
