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 setup a computer for my uncle...
..and received the most formal thank you e-mail ever. It had his home address in the top-right corner, and my home address below it. It even had "Dear Jeccy" at the top and "Yours faithfully" at the bottom too. It looked like he'd typed it in MS Word. I replied with two words, which were basically "Errrrr, thanks."
