GW and ffg, you two could be the "good cop/bad cop" of computer service. The scene from my mental movie:
Interior: interrogation room. A stubborn computer is on the desk. GW peers at it closely. ffg stands at the far wall.
GW (to computer as he plugs in a drive): "Listen buddy, here's a spare hard disk. Why don't ya give me the data the easy way. That way my partner don't have ta come over here and... FIX ya. Ya don't wanna know what happens to machines she tries to... FIX. Now just boot up and show me some files, OK?"
Nothing happens.
ffg: "I could come over there and take a look, you know."
Computer starts nervously popping up windows and dumps all its files onto GW's disk.
GW: "See I told ya we might not have to take you to her. You made the right choice."
He picks up the computer and walks out.
