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...

More of the elderly :)One tried emailing a zip file with 1 GIG's worth of photos to his friend down the road. Didn't work funnily enough.
One other guy rung up our ISP for support on Freeserve (which is not us) with the immortal line "Cmon, it's all the fucking same." to which I replied *dead tone*.
Another one was passed over to myself because he was pissed out of his head, and had been ringing up the night team all night and abusing them. I was given the record to ponder upon, and on reading it the previous woman he'd spoken to had listed absolutely everything he said to her...which included the following;
"Customer abusive, swearing at me.
Customer not making much sense, slurring alot.
Customer says he loves me?
Customer now says he loves Shirley Bassey?"
Fucking hell. As it goes, I tried to ring him back and he was already abusing another one of our workers, who managed to sort him out. Most probs sent him a kebab.
