As in all movies that start with a flash forward, you already know that I solved. However, the experience was traumatic, to limit the attack of panic, and taught me many things.
Introduction to non-users of the bitten apple: the so-called kernel panic is the worst sign that a Macintosh can give ... Suddenly a gray curtain falls slowly on the screen, an alert box informs you that your computer has crashed, you have to turn it off with the emergency procedure, and hope.
I ran, of course, but the hope has been betrayed: the Mac, my Mac, it was not turned on. The screen remained stubbornly black, and the fans have put the turbo. One, two, three, four times ... nothing. Button up the case with the anxiety of a mother feels that if the baby has a fever ... it's hot. Swallow a frog, I have to wait for it to cool, I tell myself. An hour and a half later (a lifetime and a half, maybe) I try again, I admit, with slightly trembling hands. The greatest treason: nothing yet.
There are now eleven o'clock at night, I try to do with reason, decide not to think (but can you?) And I go to bed. Maybe a little nervous. I sleep late, and I sleep badly at five in the morning I was awake. Eyes wide open staring at the first lights reflecting on the ceiling, still undecided whether to try or not. But not last long. I stand in silence, I close my bedroom in the dark I find the ignition, premium appearance.
glimmer of dawn was never more beautiful.
Without going into the post (up wild, of course), this misadventure contains profound teachings. It made me realize that they are not invulnerable, that "certain things" can happen to me, are not immune to events beyond my control and that taking precautions is not only right and good, but it is a necessary antidote to stupidity , own or someone else to be. He gave me the measure of fragility is not only mine but of the structures we rely on the newspaper stunts, stunts that, like everyone else, I do casually, but without a net. Yet you can protect yourself .. maybe just a little 'hard work more, but I have the proof that it is worth.
Moreover, no one is invulnerable; but all can become stronger.
