My mate is a part-time IT support guy
for a small engineering company. He was responsible for dragging them kicking and screaming into the computer age about 5 years ago, before which the bank told them that they couldn't have a loan until they got a proper office and computers and so on.

So, he sets up a computer for the MD's wife whose job was to do the books. He showed her how to do basic stuff in Sage including how to back up the file every night to a floppy disk.

After a while, the file started getting to large for the disk and so he said to get a USB pendrive which he went out and purchased.

"So what do I do?" she asked.
"You just use it the same as a floppy disk, it just holds a lot more data and is faster too" he foolishly explained far too briefly.

Anyway, he's sitting at his computer, programming sort of project management app when he senses that she's getting flustered. He glances over to see her trying to insert the pendrive into the floppy drive at all sorts of different angles.

He had to go into the back room to make a coffee whilst he contained his mirth.
