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...

You've all heard about the problems with computers we're having in the NHS...Well one of the guys in another department here is a little doddery, to put it kindly.
He phoned the helpdesk a while back because he couldn't get something to work. Not unusual, we're always encountering problems of one kind or another.
Much headscratching later, everyone's very confused because he's the only one having a problem with this particular system.
Until someone spotted that he was spelling his surname wrong when he entered his user name...
EDIT: Just re-read this - "a bit doddery" isn't really putting it that kindly, is it? =)
