Tech Humor: My "Safe Mode" Dream

Last night I dreamed I woke up in Safe Mode.  Yes, it was a nightmare where I was a computer running a Windows Operating System with a not too wise user holding down the office chair.  Here is how it went...

I don’t remember how things started, but Safe Mode was my only solution for protecting myself from this user who had assaulted my keyboard and mouse.  Since I engaged Safe Mode, I had effectively paralyzed most of my programs so I couldn’t return fire by popping up any of my favorite error messages that go beyond the comprehension level of this user.  Darn.  All I could do was watch the user and pray that tech support was on the way.  I heard cursing then, and all I could think was.  "Oh great, please call tech support, don’t reboot me again…Give me a minute to try to...

"Ouch!!!  Holy components!  What was that?  Everything went dark?  I must have been rebooted again!  Okay user!  I am sticking to my digital circuitry here.  Safe mode is as far as I’m going… What caused this mess anyway?  How did THAT get in my registry?  Do I detect some lousy new gaming software?  Hey!  User!  What DID YOU install here?"

I heard another voice then asking which operating system is running.  Then I hear my user say, “Office 2003.” What!  Office 2003 is not an operating system!  

“HELP!!!  Tech support!  Please stop this user, and save me now before it’s too late!  Okay tech support, read my electrical implulses - Go with the Last Known Good…Last Known Good…Last Known Good…”

And then suddenly I was back to normal...from three days ago.  Ahhh!  Tech Support had restored me back to the Last Known Good configuration.  Thank you tech support!  What day is it today?  Boy does my registry feel good.  Booting into normal mode.”
