Just last night I had a technical question about computers

There's a chinese near me where you can order via facebook chat if you want.

I have a newly purchased LP at home
by the Flower Travellin' Band, it's Japanese, 1970.

The painting on the inside of the gatefold refers TWICE to the 'Frower Travellin' Band'. Worth the price paid alone.

It still amazes me how many computer problems I can fix with that technique.

It doesn't amaze me
What amazes me is how many people know of the turn it on and off technique and don't bother trying it before they call me. My boss calls it "Power Recycling" which makes me giggle.
