Consolata: You did it! Is it serious though, I mean did I cause any damage to the case, or to my programs or whatever?
Walter: The case seems fine; they make them pretty tough these days. The OS booted up all the way with just the stupid message about not being shut down "properly" last time, as if you meant to shut it down the way you did. You can tell me later if anything doesn't work like it used to. I don't want to poke around your personal data.
Consolata: Thanks, that's very considerate. Can you tell me what happened and what you did in case, god forbid, it happens again?
