On a Vaio notebook computer, there's this little switch down by your left wrist, with "OFF" and "ON" options. There are no clues as to exactly what is turned off and on by toggling this little guy. You'd guess, if you had to guess, from its proximity to the memory stick slot, that it turns memory stick access on and off. Well, it doesn't.

I think you've probably guessed how this ends.

UPDATE: And I absolutely love my new 1 megabit ADSL. Pipex have upgraded me from 512kbps for free, and for general web browsing it's unnoticeable. But when it comes to updating software and downloading large files... phew.
