Gosh! I could be in Dilbert's shoes some day. On many Mondays (after the cleaners have gone through the office over the weekend), the monitors don't power up because the power cord is loose. I just tell my colleagues to 'push the power cord at the back of the monitor'. There is always an unnerving spark and then the monitor comes to life. I have a feeling that the spark is going to catch human flesh in place of air some day. :P
@CelsoSC - my exact thought too....it would have been much better for Wally to be there instead of Dilbert! Wally probably would have commented on her new looks or perhaps blamed Asok for planting a booby-trap.
Don't let my mom read this strip! She is paranoid enough about hurting the computer as is. hahaha
She has owned one since 2002 but barely knows how to check her email, no matter how patiently I try to explain anything to her on the phone.
That reminds me of the usual advice our IT helpdesk gives us. That and their other line are top advice in their preference list: "Turn off your computer, wait 5 seconds, then turn it back on". Funny enough, in 8 out of 10 of my PC problems, restarting my computer actually did solve the problem.
