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...

HmmI had some cocky helpdesk monkey on the phone to me and he took remote control of my computer. He said "if you see the mouse moving around, don't touch anything because its just me ok".
Needless to day, I held the mouse still as I didn't want it to fall off the desk.
I think he may have meant "the cursor" when he said "the mouse". Needless to say, I had the last laugh!
