"Greg, you got some DNA results for me yet?" asked Nick, going into the DNA lab.
"Not yet," said Greg.
"Why not?" asked Nick.
"Because my computer's broke," said Greg.
"What's up?" asked Nick.
"I don't understand it," sighed Greg. "Stupid computer"
"What's wrong with it?" asked Nick.
"It hates me," said Greg.
"I'm sure that's not true," said Nick.
"It is," said Greg. "It won't do anything I want it to"
"Maybe it's just frozen," said Nick.
"Huh"
"Can you get the mouse to work?" asked Nick.
Greg shook his head.
"And what happens when you press control-alt-delete"
"Control-alt-what"
"Give it here," said Nick. Greg slid across the room on his chair, and watched Nick tap away on his computer.
"No, it's frozen," said Nick.
"So what do I do now?" asked Greg.
"The thing that solves all computer problems," said Nick.
"Which would be"
"Hard reset"
"What's that?" asked Greg.
Nick climbed under the desk, and flicked the plug off.
"Now the screen's gone black," said Greg. "It really is broken"
"Hang on," said Nick. He flicked the plug back on, and the computer whirred into life.
"It's back on," said Greg. "But it's gone back to the beginning"
"That's what's supposed to happen," said Nick, climbed back up to his feet.
"Really?" said Greg.
"Trust me," said Nick.
"I always trust you," smiled Greg.
"Thanks," said Nick.
The computer came back up to the login screen.
"Oooh!" said Greg. "So now I just log back in and it's all back to normal"
"Exactly," said Nick.
"You're amazing," said Greg.
"Not yet," said Greg.
"Why not?" asked Nick.
"Because my computer's broke," said Greg.
"What's up?" asked Nick.
