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 duties include IT Support and Sysadmin......so, best advice I can give you is 'don't get me started' - it would fill entire pages, professional and spare-time engagements alike and the bile would drown us all. So, oh SO fucking many IT fucktards out there, and a surprising number in jobs that depend on them being able to operate a computer.
Besides, from the sounds of things on here this week, any techie-type anecdotal writings would go up like a lead balloon anyway. Not suprised in the least to see that disasterprone is foremost amongst those bitching about everyone else whilst/because of having nothing to add of any relevance himself. Consistency can be a good thing - just not in his case.
