there was me getting all excited...

...because my monitor stopped working this morning. "Oh good," thinks I, "at last something with which to justify a nice new big monitor."

However, having just crawled around under the desk it turns out it was just the power cable that had come loose and it's actually OK.

Come on now Ken, you deserve a new monitor. Kick that cable again! I promise not to tell your missus!

Unless it turns out that the ..umm.. monitor power cable socket, has become ...oooh... intermittently depolarised and could fail, no wait, fail catastrophically!!, at any moment.

Gord Campbell, one-time editor of Computing Canada (it was a newspaper that came out on, well, paper. newsprint we called it back then ...) once postulated :-

It was probably a long walk to get to the power socket, hence
Too loose, le trek !

Bravo! Well DONE, John!
