Phew

The phone rang.

Gorse Fox was in the middle of drawing a complex diagram. As he answered the phone he asked the caller to hang on while he saved the work.

Duly saved, the Gorse Fox turned his full attention to the caller. 30 seconds later the screen went black, the light on the mouse switched off, the power light switched off. The laptop had, to all intents and purpose, powered off. GF swore quietly to himself, imagining a failed motherboard.

After the call was over, GF went into maintenance mode. Check the power, check the connections, remove and then re-seat the battery, re-check the connections, and recheck the power. Cross fingers and toes. Switch on.

Familiar lights blinked on. The screen came to life. All was well... and because he'd thought to save his diagram as the phone rang - no data was lost. Now that's a good start to the week.
