The Habr:

It reminds me very much of my story (in a smaller scale).
In 1999 I got a laptop. Toshiba T1910 (produced in 1994) The case occurred a few weeks after entering the university. I found a week to go to the village with my grandfather. I had my own child’s room on the roof. I took the "new" iron with me, with the idea to configure, put Win 3.11 and include my grandfather to IT. Everything went well except the last one. The notebook had a dead Ni-Mh battery. Akkum did not give up, but bought a small 12-B. Salt and unserved. The village, the light often “hopes.” Two days later, I was called back to town. Then everything turned, university, move to another city, independent free life at 1000 km. From home, 6 years of universe, work, journeys... Family... in total 12 years passed unnoticed...
Last summer my grandfather called, and he said, “Listen, Sash, I think there are snakes on my roof, come, go shopping at sea, clean up the roof, cover up the roof...
On the roof I met, under the scroll and crust of a 200-meter winchester, Win 3.11 c 12-year ap-time and a launched "saper".
