My Computer is a Troubleshooter !

( Computers are a Man's best Friends )

My room doesn't become comfortably warm during the winter season. Neither in degrees of Celsius, nor Fahrenheit. Never did. I resigned already over the years. I even have tried it with the heaters replaced. No success. But I couldn't detect the spot where the cold was coming in. My good old computer has several external devices attached to it, among them a microphone, and 2 small speaker boxes. Yesterday, when I needed some more space on my overloaded table, I decided to first remove my micro, which I don't use often, anyhow. Full success. I gained some square inches of space, but not for long, I needed it for a new packet of cigarettes. But still much more of success to tell. When I removed the micro, I stowed it in a dead angle on my window sill, as I didn't want to de-install it forever. I must admit, it was a cold, rainy, and windy evening. Surprise, surprise ! Suddenly I heard the storm outside over my speakers ! Boosted up to double, or triple loudness at least. That was like SoundBlaster to the power of 3 ! Like in good old Western movies. Conclusion. Now I know where the cold comes in. But still don't know how to fix the bug. At least my computer aided me a lot in problem determination. He has got a warm hug from me.
