Stupid Machines!!

[Thomas]

I lucked out; that glass of water cost me only $190.00--new keyboard. The laptop is fine.

Got a scare, though, when I went to pick it up. The technician could not get it to start up. I innocently asked if he was sure he had a/c juice. He asked what I meant by a/c.

"Alternating current," I said, "the stuff that runs this stuff."

He laughed me off, went to the back, came back and announced that the tech in the back got it to start up. So he tries again--nothing. He looks at me oddly, walks over to the next cubicle, plugs into that a/c and "voila."

His a/c was indeed dead.
