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...

wellmy best friend's mom is computer savvy, i am, and she is. a few years back, before she knew that much about computers, i was the designated techmonkey. her mom gave her an old laptop. now my best friend had been using this laptop for a while, and had accidentally downloaded a few viruses. it was running slow and freezing up a lot, so i asked her to let me see the thing. she handed it over and i installed and ran a spyware/virus scanner. 1,095 viruses, and 638 pieces of spyware.
