Today’s Adventure…
The Toni-ster: “Can you shut off the computer? Turn it completely off.”
User: “How do I do that?”
Toni-ster: “Hold the power button down for 30 seconds, or until the light goes off.”
User: “Okay, I held the button down, but there’s still a light on.”
Toni-ster: “Are you sure you turned the computer off, or was it the monitor?” *Toni-ster already knows the answer to this because she’s remoted in and the screen went blank…*
User: “Yes, it was the computer.” *You hear rattling of papers and things moving*
User: “Well,…maybe it was the monitor the blue light isn’t on any more.”
Toni-ster: “Okay, we need to turn the computer off. Find the power button on the computer.”
User: *More rumpling of papers, etc.* “Okay, I think I have it.”
Toni-ster: *Still seeing a blank screen…screen comes on…* “Are you sure you have the computer power button?”
User: “I think so, but I still see a light.”
Toni-ster: “The button should be on the little black box with the device name sticker.”
User: “Oh! That computer.”
Toni-ster: ….
User: *Holds the correct button down and turns off computer…finally!*
Toni-ster: *This is exactly why they made wine….*
Just another day in paradise! 🙂

I always Use ‘Start’ > ‘Shut Down’. Saves any button confusion, by using the mouse. 🙂
Thanks for following my blog, which is appreciated.
Best wishes, Pete.
