Power Down

There is a really nice Dell PC whirring in the background. It's a workstation that resides on a local network. A hard drive format and a re-installation of the Windows XP operating system are underway. After checking the event viewer to see why it was having problems connecting to its server the majority of shutdowns during the past month were improper. Damn it all, there is a RIGHT WAY TO SHUTDOWN A COMPUTER! The mistreatment of this well built, up to date, efficient work tool cost several hours of bench time.

If you don't know how to shut it down, ask someone or visit the Microsoft site and review the procedure. You can even email me and I'll gladly go over how it's done. In order to activate and register the software I'll be up at 4:30 AM to place a call that will go through without the horrible delay experienced during normal working hours.

Good night...
