Botsu's Technical Glitches

Botsu seems to be making headlines these days; a good amount of my blog space has been taken by his tales of goof-ups including this, this and this. Here’s another small one to add to the repertoire. Botsu had borrowed a USB flash drive (pen drive) from KP consisting of some utility softwares, games and stuff. All excited about the new games and softwares, Botsu plugs the USB stick into his system. Zap!!! The computer turned OFF!! Realizing that the USB stick contained some highly malicious Virus, Botsu in a fit of rage phoned KP.

Botsu: You bloody crook!! Your stupid pen drive caused my system to be inoperative.
KP: What happened??
Botsu: Nothing happened; my computer just became defective, dumbo!!
KP: Hmm, maybe the pen drive contained some Virus or Trojans.
Botsu: Maybe???
KP: But at least you should be able to access Windows. Maybe there is a hardware problem. You take out the RAM and plug it into another slot.
Botsu: Ok, let me see.

No use. Still not working. Again, Botsu phoned KP.

KP: Clean the mother board.
No use.
KP: Take out the hard drive and plug it again.
No use.
KP: Take out the buses and clean it.
No use.
KP: Maybe you should give it for servicing.
Botsu: And you’re going to pay for it.

Another altercation springs up. As soon as Botsu hung up the phone, the computer starts working. Puzzled, Botsu gets out of his room and hears his dad mumbling something.

Botsu’s Dad: Power failures are becoming such a menace now-a-days.
Botsu: !!!!!!!

P.S. The bugger doesn’t use a UPS.
P.P.S. Next day, KP lashed out a series of verbal abuses and Botsu had to patiently listen to all of that.

@g-man: Oh, aano? Ya, vaikaathe will introduce you to them.

@sreejith: You bet!!

@arun: Dearth of topics man, basically. Anecdotes, personal and others', I guess is my forte. But will venture into new areas within sometime, hope so.

@shama: Hehe, good thinking shama. M-girl seems to have made Botsu a lil offbeat. But the affinity for bloopers is there in Botsu inherently, hehe.

@ashwin: Yeah, with Botsu you can never say; maybe he might have went to logtech, just to be sure. I too heard of that. Same story, different versions; but the protagonist is invariably Botsu, hehe.

@anonymous: Do it at your own risk. You never know when the victims start wringing your neck, hehe.

@chinny: Thanks for dropping by!!
