Q I am having a problem with my computer.

R Is it frozen.

Q No, there are all these pop-up windows I can't get rid of.

R Here, let me show you a trick. Hit ctrl-W and that will close the active window. Keep hitting ctrl-W.

R Do it faster.

R Would you like me to tell you the closest library that has something?
Q Sure.

Observation: A League OF There Own did not have the lasting impact I thought it would.
