Default Got it running again

If there's one thing I know, it's computers. Sometimes they lock up or freeze. Could be static electricity or something else that caused a corrupt preferences file or something, who knows. The way to get any computer back on-line is to re-boot. This usually reloads the factory default parameters. So I decided to undo the positive battery cable - effectively cutting off the power to the on-board computer - then re-connected the cable. This in effect caused a re-boot. Well, I'm happy to report everything came back on-line. Power was restored and all the electrical systems are working... and the car started up fine. God bless the computer age. I sure do miss those Ford flatheads.
