    Welcome to the computer illiterate thread. Here you can post you experiance with computer illiteracy. I kick start things;

    I was in the ICT room when I overhead a conversation;

    Teacher: "Turn on your computer."
    Boy: "What's a computer?"

    I swear to God, I'm not lying.

    I saw one on a website;

    I had this conversation recently with a lady who swore she had been using computers since forever.

    â—¦Tech Support: "All right. Now click 'OK'."
    â—¦Customer: "Click 'OK'?"
    â—¦Tech Support: "Yes, click 'OK'."
    â—¦Customer: "Click 'OK'?"
    â—¦Tech Support: "That's right. Click 'OK'."
    â—¦Customer: "So I click 'OK', right?"
    â—¦Tech Support: "Right. Click 'OK'."
    Pause.

    â—¦Customer: "I clicked 'Cancel'."
    â—¦Tech Support: "YOU CLICKED 'CANCEL'???"
    â—¦Customer: "That's what I was supposed to do, right?"
    â—¦Tech Support: "No, you were supposed to click 'OK'."
    â—¦Customer: "I thought you said to click 'Cancel'."
    â—¦Tech Support: "NO. I said to click 'OK'."
    â—¦Customer: "Oh."
    â—¦Tech Support: "Now we have to start over."
    â—¦Customer: "Why?"
    â—¦Tech Support: "Because you clicked 'Cancel'."
    â—¦Customer: "Wasn't I supposed to click 'Cancel'?"
    â—¦Tech Support: "No. Forget that. Let's start from the top."
    â—¦Customer: "Ok."
    I spent the next fifteen minutes re-constructing the carefully crafted setup for this lady's unique computer.

    â—¦Tech Support: "All right. Now, are you ready to click 'OK'?"
    â—¦Customer: "Yes."
    â—¦Tech Support: "Great. Now click 'OK'."
    Pause.

    â—¦Customer: "I clicked 'Cancel'."
    And people wonder why my mouse pad has a target on it labeled "BANG HEAD HERE."
