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...

One thing that fucks me offas an IT bloke is when you give and oldie instructions and the following happens;
Me - "Right, can you click on the My Computer symbol please on the desktop?"
Oldie - "Ok, done that."
Me - "Now you should see an option on the left saying Control Panel. Click onto this please."
Oldie - "Right, done that."
Me - "Now how many options have you got there please? Do you have 9 catergories, or about 30 odd items?"
Oldie - "Errrr...."
Me - "You should have in front of you either 9 large catergories or a load of small options....you are in the control panel are you?"
Oldie - "I've got My Documents....Internet Explorer?"
Me - "THEN WHY TELL ME YOU'VE FUCKING DONE WHAT I'VE ASKED YOU THICK OLD TWAT!?!?!?!?!!???"
Well, that's what I'd like to reply ahem.
