So I'm in Orlando for the next few days for work and stuff, and it was mainly to upgrade the software for the above mentioned system ... except, in order to do so, I had to have someone walk me through manipulating the hardware on site, including "unplugging" something from the motherboard of the system. I was warned, "it's liable to be pretty tight as it's never been unplugged since it was installed", and when I couldn't unplug it, I did what every other person would do and I wiggled it a little.
However, as a beyond-her-prime Whitney Houston would sing shortly before her bath-nap (okay ... go ahead ... I'll pause while you groan at my insensitivity ... although is it really/still too soon?), "I Didn't Know My Own Strength", and I wiggled it to the point where it came undone ... but in pieces, as a key little tiny pin thingy as miniscule as an eyeglass screw fell to the ground.
That which was supposed to go from "old" to "new", but instead went from "old" to "dead" (I'm talking about the tech stuff, not Ms. Houston) ... you will be missed (even moreso if the vendor can't replace the hardware tomorrow as planned) ...

LUCKILY, MY COMPANY DOES NOT TAKE THIS APPROACH IN THIS SITUATION:
