Was told by a Libraryian , not to say cruel things about 'The Computor ' , as " youll hurt its feelings "
P.S. , it DOESNT have INTELLEGANCE , ! it has LOGIC . alledgedly !

Further too . . . Talking to it loudly " Your just a computor . youll do as your told " raised eyebrows and brought the response
"were getting a more modern one " . This may have been brought on by pointing to the (automatic) door , and saying "OPEN"
as you approached it,for some reason it would open.

My wife once worked for a builder, a certified cheapskate. As a result he had
got stuck with the Edsel of computers, some sort of single purpose setup with
a terminal and a single data base program. Nothing about the operating system
was accessible, of course, and the program frequently hung or crashed.
The builder's "computer decider" was an attractive woman, clearly hired for other
assets than her brains. But she was fiercely faithful to the builder, and whatever
she said went.
My wife bothered to read the instructions and found that the data base was completed
munged, data in wrong fields, etc. She told them that it needed to be corrected and cleaned
up if the program would be useful. So my wife went to work on that, manually transcribing
and correcting records.
In the middle of one of these sessions, the bimbo suddenly simply shut off the computer,
powered it down. So my wife asked what was going on, and she was informed that "the
computer needs to be allowed to rest at times"!
So, maybe all that is needed is to reach over and cut the power on your "computor" periodically,
and allow it to rest.
