At work we had many people calling in these past few weeks to report their pc would not boot up after an update. A rarity then all of a sudden many calls.

They have to send the pc in for re-image as system restore had been disable due to company policy.....

Have you ever watched the British comedy, the IT Crowd it played from 2006 - 2013. It is free to watch with Amazon Prime and other ways as well. It has basically nothing to do with the computers, but they do show quite a bit of vintage hardware. And it reminds me a little of the work I did long before working at a community college in the computer lab and helping with the college's administrative computers. This was a little before Windows with DOS 6.1, Word Perfect 5, , Lotus 123 and other programs of that generation. The hardware and software change but the basic challenges remain similar, minus the automatic updates from Microsoft. That is partially what makes the goofball English humor funny to me.
