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...

An easy mistakeMy grandma was having problems so I agreed to go round and help her out. She'd been trying to log on to the Net but simply couldn't get anything.
When I arrived, a strange man was sitting in her easy chair. He was wearing a pin-stripe suit and was carrying a suitcase. He looked a little nervous.
"Oh, Gran!" I said. "You've gone and bought a COMMUTER, not a COMPUTER!"
"I thought I had a lot of trouble fitting the printer plug in the jack!" she replied.
We laughed so much that we died.
