Включите кнопку питания, она тут рядом. Hа задней панели, если смотреть внимательным взглядом, можно заметить такую штуку, под ней щель, и если в щель засунуть руку, то там в глубине по локоть направо будет как бы небольшая канава, и вот там чуть глубже где-то кнопка немного вверх и левее. Hажми ее скорее.

Бух-бах! Щелк! Задымился корпусок! Искры полетели снопами, дым повалил клубами, блок питания дымит, и бодро так говорит: "Извините братцы, тут в сети оказывается 220.

Yesterday

Yesterday, All those backups seemed a waste of pay. Now my database has gone away. Oh I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, There's not half the files there used to be, There's a milestone hanging over me. The system crashed so suddenly.

I pushed something wrong, What it was I could not say.

Now all my data's gone and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.

Yesterday, The need for back-ups seemed so far away. I knew my data was all here to stay. Now I believe in yesterday.

Eleanor Rigby

Eleanor Rigby Sits at the keyboard and waits for a line on the screen Lives in a dream Waits for a signal Finding some code that will make the machine do some more. What is it for?

All the lonely users, where do they all come from? All the lonely users, why does it take so long?

Guru MacKenzie Typing the lines of a program that no one will run; Isn't it fun? Look at him working, Munching some chips as he waits for the code to compile; It takes a while...

All the lonely users, where do they all come from? All the lonely users, why does it take so long?

Eleanor Rigby Crashes the system and loses six hours of work; Feels like a jerk. Guru MacKenzie Wiping the crumbs off the keys as he types in the code; Nothing will load.

All the lonely users, where do they all come from? All the lonely users, why does it take so long?
