Sam was trying to get the server working. Battery low. "Warning," the Computer says, "Battery 11%." "Plug it in!" says Linda. With what? Sam holds up a USB 2.0 cable. "This?" says Sam. "No" says Linda, worried. "9%" the computer goes. He fiddles through a box of cables. He holds up an Ethernet cable. It was not that. "6%" the computer blares. Time is running out. Linda has her fingers crossed, then she goes over to help, just as Sam finds the iPhone charger and USB cable. She points out that the iPhone charger reduces the battery life. "2%" the computer says, with a melting voice. It was about to die. Then Sam sees the charger plugged into the computer, but not into the mains. But by the time the power supply is turned on, the computer is dead.
