Me Vs. Maggie

2006
Apparently Maggie knows more about computers than I do. Now, normally I wouldn't mind admitting that someone knows more about computers than I do, but in this case I do. This in because Maggie is in fact a kitten, one which delights in running across my keyboard as I'm trying to work.
I used to view this as nothing more than an annoyance until I found that my wireless card was no longer working. I took it into the computer building in university to see if they could fix it. The tech informed me, (no doubt while suppressing his laughter), that the card can be turned on and off by pressing FUNCTION and F2, (a fact that I was not aware of).
My first thought on hearing this was "THAT @#?! CAT", although I refrained from expressing my feelings aloud, fearing the tech might see it as an attempt to hide my lack of knowledge by blaming a 'dumb' animal.
Despite my lack of solid evidence, I myself have no doubt that Maggie planned this, although to what purpose, I still don't know...
