Nothing gets done until the network gets fixed, the passwords get reset, the software gets reinstalled or new drivers are put in… Or a variety of other different computer problems. When the computers are not working, unfortunately neither are most businesses or free time activities. In business time is money and every lost minute is another dollar out the door.
