My dad told me a story about when he was travelling some time ago and was in an airport VIP lounge. He decided to use his laptop to do some work. There was a place to plug his laptop in but he didn’t have an adaptor with him, so he had to run the laptop on the battery.
Anyway, he switched the computer on and found there was a free Wi-Fi network so he got a user name and a password and logged on to the internet. He surfed the net for a while, and he found some interesting files connected to his work that he wanted to save onto his hard drive, So he started to download them. While that was going on, he went off to get something to drink.
When he came back, he found that his computer had crashed! The battery had run out, of course. And not only that — his plane was delayed for three hours and he couldn’t use his laptop any more
