Ginowan City, Okinawa (AP) - Hewlett Packard is hiding something from its consumers: hp is in fact an abbreviation of "hibernates periodically"! Ginowan resident Trevor Raichura is the most recent computer owner to discover this. On Sunday night, Raichura returned from Calvary Chapel Ginowan's W2 service to find his battery completely drained.
"I thought this to be a little strange, but not out of the realm of possibility," Raichura said via conference call. "I did leave the computer on 'Standby' without having it plugged in. After 15 hours, anything can happen."
Upon his discovery, Raichura plugged the computer into the wall, and went to sleep. When he woke up, the "charging" light was no longer illuminated, which would indicate that the battery has been fully charged. Anxious to listen to some morning music, Raichura pressed the power button. But to his shock, the computer remained still. No humming, no lights flashing, no screen coming to life.
Word has it that he is covered by his warranty, but has yet to take action.
"I actually am trying to take a few days off from the world of computers," he sighed. "Perhaps my life was revolving a little too much around the ol' screen and board."
The latest reports indicate that Raichura may not update his blog with frequency for the next few weeks. We'll keep you posted as this story develops.
