Merely for laughs, hoping this'll cheer up some folks or possibly some of y'all can identify with through different activities.
So last night "I decided" to clean my 10+ years old laptop.
All seemed to be going well, except for some snapping plastic, and buttoned it up after an hour or 2.
Plugged it in and....drum roll and cymbal clash..........nothing.
Took a break.
Resumed the "task" a little later last night and resumed a 3rd time this a.m. to "eliminate some plastic pieces serving no known purpose".
Never did obtain a full view of the interior since I b unfamiliar with accessing laptop interiors short of "creating entry paths".
'Puter still not cooperative but I did have a good look at the internals: FILTHY.
That's what 10 years of smoking tobacco and 40 Ton wheeling natiowide can provide.
Reminded me of a Class 6 or 8 Truck riding through the west deserts, in July, with no a.c.

Insanity or Schizophrenia: doing something over and over expecting different results or to make sure the first time was real.
