Oh help!

Robin, I hope that the Evil Spirits of Non-functional Technology are soon vanquished. Take care of yourself out there.

You might also enjoy the alternate spelling: fu.

Actually I do enjoy that, very much, thank you... my new favorite thing to say for today.

FU.

It also appears to be what has happened to Robin's technology! (Speaking as one who has just had to reboot her router!).

Possibly Fu Hsi who invented writing and taught subjects to use nets.

I was delighted to find out that someone had actually made a "fubar" -- "functional utility bar" in this context, but I still want one just for the sake of it.
