    How can I help?

    A common problem I see is plugging the exhaust and running super hot because of it. But it appears to be on purpose in many cases, and the result is rather interesting to observe, I’ve found.

    The buttons on the front panel may also need some fiddling every now and then to keep them functioning firmly.

    Some issues need me to go a bit deeper inside though, to solve them to satisfaction.

      You know, there are a lot of problems with it, you seem like you know what you’re doing so how about you fiddle with the buttons first and see what happens what else needs to be fixed?

        I always start with the buttons up top, this is how you turn on the computer, after all.

        But you know, it wouldn’t matter if nothing needs fixing, I always like to play around, just working my way through everything there is to do, really getting down to it.

          That sounds good to me, are there any buttons I can push? I feel bad leaving you to do all the work, if I can get down to it with you I think that would be more pleasant for both of us

            Oh, I always make sure to turn it into a job for two people. Makes it easier to reach all the important spots when you have a helping hand.

            However, make sure to follow my lead, your hands need to go exactly where I tell you to put them.

            (Jokes aside for a second, never reach into an open power supply unless you know what you’re doing. In fact, best to not open it in the first place.)

            So, now that everything is turned on, let’s go over how to mount a drive

              It’s really comforting to be in the hands of such an expert, I feel like you could teach me a lot. Everything is certainly turned on now, so tell me more about mounting

              (Oh yeah, I’m not fucking with electricity at all, no worries there)

                Actually, mounting should happen automatically when you insert a drive into the back port. And then you can load your files to the internal drive

                  So if I’m understanding correctly - remember, I’m still learning, and I am an eager student - you insert your drive into my back port and then you load into my internal drive, and then everything works? Sounds good, when can we start?

                    OK, I’m not white knighting here… but I don’t want to see you become the butt of the joke. All of this double and triple entendre is getting out of control. For all of this back loading to properly work you need a proper tower case. Personally I’m into cases by the Eiffel company. Eiffel towers are the best! You can front load AND back load simultaneously (some hand holding for structural support may be necessary). I utilize a method that has been widely recognized as the best. You have the comedic effect of a Spit Take along side the slow burn of a good Roast over how sloppy you com ports are. The colloquial term is SpitRoasting… it’s quite the undertaking but if we all work hard we can make this all come together.
