Synopsis
Fear. Your mouth becomes dry. You sit like a rabbit looking at headlights pondering a decision. A decision that you’ve been considering for months. That button stares at you, pensively saying ‘click me’. But do you click it and instigate the upgrade that you’ve been worrying about for weeks? You have to make a decision. So now the risks of the upgrade are less than the risks connected with running out of date software. You press that button, things start to happen, downloads occur to fetch the new code, timers rotate, reboots are requested with ‘do not turn off’ messages. You sit staring at the screen in hope that there is not a power cut at this time. Waiting, oh the waiting. Reboot, reboot, then…. ‘oh no!’ there is an error message, it’s failed! Some odd error meaningless error code. You reboot in the hope that the system will revert back, but no, panic starts to set in. You reach for your smart phone and search on the error message. There are some results, you try different things again and again. Hours pass, food is eaten on the go but you must attempt to recover the situation. But no, nothing works. You sit in despair looking at the screen at the state of your computer wondering how on earth you’ll get your computer back. Then you remember, the backup! I’ll use the backup, that one I made recently. Hope. There is hope.
