It's pushing midnight Friday the cue is flat we're on a downward roll. Call. Computer is 'busted'. Eventually we learn issue is no internet access. What shows on her screen? Nothing.

There is a cpu containing box but no lights are on.

Yes it is plugged in.

No no one else has a working computer.

Is the printer working I ask in desperation. No.

WHAT DOES WORK that is electrical? Nothing.

ARE THE LIGHTS ON? NO

User is in a big fancy high tech law firm in the Transamerica Tower. Power to the whole city of San Francisco has been off for an hour.

I asked her why she called us? "cause the only thing working was the phone'.

ARGH......
