Have you tried plugging it in

I was the resident 'IT person' for my family growing up due to my love of computers. I was playing Guild Wars back around 2007, trying to complete a mission with my guild when I was called away suddenly by the yelling of a family member. I ran to investigate expecting a fire or other calamity, but no.. just my grandmother seated at a recently unboxed, brand new laptop.

'It won't turn on!' She said.

My grandmother is not very tech-savvy, but this laptop replaced her previous one. She was not new to the idea of laptops in general.

I found its cord and plugged it in. That fixed it. I even made it back to my game in time to res/heal half of my party.

Oh yea, and my grandma made me pie. At least solving her computer issues are easy- and who could turn down free pecan pie?
