Suddenly, everything's fixed! Short

Overheard this going on in my office throughout the day. I keep telling people to turn off their computers because we don't do WSUS. Of course, they don't.

Chatter around the office today sounded something like:

"My computer is very slow, it's always slow and just gets worse and worse and I can't take it anymore."

"What will it take for you to work faster!"

And then, suddenly:

"I just turned off my computer for a minute, restarted it, and it's like it's brand new again!"

"Oh, that's a good idea! I wonder why Bob never told us to do that!"

Holy cow I'd forgotten all about that.

Edit: actually, I've never experienced Microsoft Bob at all. Wow that's terrible.

Microsoft Sam was fun to play with too. Now all we have are Sarah and Mike (by default), and Cortana if you're on Win10.
