Computer scare, ou fausse alerte
J'ai cru avoir à faire à un plantage de PC en début d'après-midi. Le temps que j'aille essuyer la vaisselle, le bestiau était éteint, sans réaction, alors que l'écran et les haut-parleurs fonctionnaient. Ni une, ni deux, nous voilà partis chez le réparateur, moi déjà en manque d'internet, le mari enchanté de perdre son après-midi pour ma drogue. C'était ambiance corbillard dans la voiture. Arrivé au SAV, le bestiau s'allume comme si de rien n'était ! En fait, il est branché sur une multi-prise, et seule sa prise ne fonctionnait plus, ce qui explique que l'écran et les haut-parleurs fonctionnaient encore, mais pas l'unité centrale. J'en ai profité pour rajouter de la RAM, et nous avons mis une nouvelle multi-prise pour éviter que le mal ne se propage.

I thought I was victim of the dreaded sickness commonly called computer crash this afternoon. I left the beast just the time to dry the dishes, and when I come back, it's as responsive as a dead body. The screen and the speakers were OK, so hubby and I went to the repairman ASAP. Well, I already felt internet withdrawal symptoms, and hubby was disgruntled at having his afternoon spoiled in the name of my very legal drug, so the trip to the shop was as cheerful as a funeral.
At the shop, the beast switched on without fuss.The explanation was simple: my computer, screen, etc. are plucked to the same trailing socket, but only the computer socket was out of order. Well, I took the opportunity at being in the shop to add memory to the beast, but really, I felt stupid to see my computer just switch on at the shop.
And now, a squee: A Sweet for a Wish is featured story on OWL right now! SQUEEEEEE!
