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...

My Grandma bought gay porn on-line - By Mistake!!!My grandma in England decided one year to show her web savvie-ness by purchasing a book certificate on-line for my younger brother and sister.
She found a book store that sounded nice in Toronto - the Glad Day bookstore. Lovely - she thought, that sounds wholesome.
My parents duly went with the kids to buy a book at the store. Imagine their surprise when they realised the bookstore was located in the heart of gaytown.
Yes, my grandma had managed to find the only gay bookstore in Toronto selling gift certificates on-line.
So they left the kids sitting on the steps while they went in and explained the situation to the manager, who very kindly agreed to give them the money back.
I dread to think what she'll buy next. She's now armed with a kick ass laptop, a credit card and a willful childlike naivety.
