It is probably the oldest story, well maybe the second oldest, but in the age of computers it is probably the oldest. For as long as there have been computers there have been computers that have failed or have broken.

Being one of the latter, I come from an age before... more...

I don't use or have any need for computer solutions. Or so I thought. Lookin... more...
