Tell it like it is

A catastrophic failure.
I didn't think computers were melodramatic creatures, but I was somewhat heartened to think they too have catastrophic failures in their lives.
Sometimes it's can all be a wee bit much for it. Uploading some photos from a different camera can just tip it over the edge and there really is no point understating the situation if you want a reaction.
Later in the day I was handed chocolate when I was in the midst of my own catastrophic failure and in future I may try offering the Machine some. Metaphorically.
We're all in it together after all.
