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...

Forward EmailsOne of the engineers at the local council where my wife works was off on holiday, as he was close to retirement and had some projects to complete he set his office email up to forward to his home account.
Unfortunately he forget he had previously set his home email up to forward to work so he could read his personal emails there.
He takes into retirement the knowledge that you can get over 80,000 emails in a Microsoft Exchange account before it runs out of space.
