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...

Oldies vs computers and everything else...A few years ago, I worked for a bloke called Bill - he was a lovely old geezer out of work but a complete nightmare at work, eventually forcing me to leave.
Anyway, one night he asked me if I would pop round to his house after work and help him get his computer onto the internet. I agreed and... oh fuck it - it's too boring to finish. His computer was as old as him and I couldn't do the job - also his clock was an hour slow and it was hilarious.
