my mother just launched google, because she was searching for... yahoo. °_°
the other day, in the train, i was playing tetris with my calculator (no, i don't have a gba ;)), and the old lady sitting next to me asks me if it was a playstation.
and you may know j. chirac (the president of france) didn't know what a computer mouse was... (that was long ago but funny nonetheless)
do you have other stories like this? ^^

fuck dude...i work in printer-support! when telling a cust. that he/she should press # and * (reffering to the unit), and they instead press the buttons on the phone, you know what youre custs. IT-knowledge is.
Or worse - people that thinks theres a error in our software, because they choosed there native language on the printer, and the program is in english.

My mother's friend went on an IT course once, and the instructor told them all to take their mouse and click on the taskbar. She put it on the floor and started moving it around with her toes - she thought it was a footpedal.

my parents once sent me an email, but they didn't know how it worked... so they called a friend of mine for help.
it seems like they didn't understand everything, since the body of the mail was empty - all the text was in the title of the mail.
(not much, but still a little funny)

My mom's first internet experience:
She turned on the PC, dialed in and entered a site, like www.yahoo.com
after 5 minutes she shouted me to come over to the PC."It doesnt work!"
Did you press enter? "Enter?"

My mum is determined to learn to use a PC, even though she's due for retirement in a few years.
She tries hard bless her, but she really does struggle sometimes... Just ask Jedi Chris :)
