Heart Attack Moment

Last night my grandson was playing one of his games on my computer, usually make him use the old sandbox for obvious reasons, anyway he closed it and said 'hey look what's happened'. The screen had gone all sideways. Turned it off and back on, still sideways. I used some interesting language and told Hal that such language should be reserved for times like this. Well it was late so decided to leave till morning. Then remembered that it used to be a party trick way back when I was doing a computer course so it had to be fixable, crossing all fingers. Got a crick in the neck doing a sideways google this morning and found the easy fix, whew, still shaking though, my great dread is dead 'puter. Still we live another day.
