but we would never have learned about the F5 key!
They say the message that said “To continue, press any key”, then spent all night looking for the “Any Key.”
....which was totally useless info then...and now.
A new hire about 20 years old sat looking bored at the idle computer in front of him. Staring at the keyboard for a few minutes, he finally reach out and tentively touched the F5 key. At that precise moment, the monitor shorted out and emitted a gasp of burning plastic aroma out of the top (old CRT type). I couldn’t miss an opportunity like that, I just couldn’t. In a fake alarmed voice I demanded “Oh no! What key did you touch!!!?’ and he frantically stammered ‘I just the touched the F5 key, honest!!!’ I widened my eyes in fake awe and said slowly and ominously ‘N-E-V-E-R touch the F5 key! N-E-V-E-R!’ Meanwhile I was wondering if I was going to have to haul it outside because it seemed to be smoldering.... Oh it took me 45 minutes to calm the kid down and I fear he may never have fully recovered. Good times...good times....
