Stunned Silence

Remember in the first Matrix, when we see Keanu all hooked up to those wires in the gooey bubble-pod? And then, later, we see the metal ports in the back of his head and back where the wires used to be? And it's like, whew! He's all off-the-hook now?

And remember in the Wizard of Oz, when that b--ch Glenda tells Dorothy that she had the power to go home the whole time?

That's what it's like to see the laptop running on it's own, without being tied to the backup drive . I had the power the whole time (well, since getting the data off the dead-thing and onto the backup drive). The answer was so simple, it had been staring me in the face the whole time.

Remember in Ghostbusters at the end when Gozer asks "Are you a god?" and Ray says, "No" and Gozer says, "Then... DIE!"
and lightning flies from her fingers, and then Winston says, "Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say "YES"!"?

Well, when the computer asks EVERY SINGLE TIME you boot up the laptop if you want to "initialize" the new drive, you say "YES!".
