Google Is So Smart!

Last night the DH had trouble starting the hand-me-down laptop I gave him when I switched to a lighter one for the train. He'd push the Start button, the lights would go on, then turn off. We changed the adaptor, but that didn't help.

In desperation, I went to Google on my desktop computer and typed, "Dell Latitude D600 starter." It wasn't long before I found a link where other people had experienced the same problem as the DH. The solution was strange, but worth a try - Press the Start button, while firmly holding down F9 and F10.

We tried it. It worked!!

Google Is So Smart!!!

Have you had a similar experience when Google solved one of your problems?

  1. I usually find everything I need via Google. Haven't turned to another search engine in ages. Google and gmail are the best.

  3. Morgan, You said it alright. Google is wonderful. My paying job as a medical transcriptionist wouldn't have lasted long had it not been for Google and its ability to research.
