I don't normally keep computers long enough to make it worth the storage of shadow copies, etc.

This was a special case, where it was windows itself that killed the machine (error 00xc0000185; look it up. It kills a lot of machines*, and you don't get recovery discs with personal PCs, any more).

* The %$#*ing Operating System kills the machines! WTFingF are those cretins doing?!? The purpose of an OS is to make the hardware work, not to kill it!

I did search before posting, so apologies if it's an old trick and has been mentioned already.

Helping a friend over the weekend, we were rudely greeted by Chrome's message of no connectivity.
Immediately Daz perked up and started bashing away on the keyboard. Looking over with idle amusement, I realised that the offline dinosaur picture you're shown is actually the main character of an easter-egg game the developers left.

When you see the t-rex, either hit space or the arrow keys to start the game. Ha! Too funny.

Do you like dinosaurs?
