This is a question Oldies vs Computers

As 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...

I've got a few friends who my grandmother would own in a computer-knowledge quiz, so I guess this is relevant.

Long story short, I created a new hotmail (you'd think that would be the first freaking hint) account and sent a couple of very official looking emails to some of the aforementioned friends, regarding the copious amount of illegal porn that had been found on their PC's. Said email also mentioned that the police would be in contact with them soon. It was a harmless joke, not a very funny one, but when I get bored I get REALLY bored.

Unfortunately, 2 of my friends absolutely started shitting it, were really scared and were apparently not sleeping. I felt terrible. But not terrible enough to own up and earn myself a black eye.

I'm just curious as to what kind of porn they must have both owned to have them so panicked. Then again I doubt I want to REALLY know.

They never did realise it was me.
