I've got mad tech skills

So one of the volunteers comes up this afternoon with a laptop.

her: I’m bringing you a new patient, well actually the same old patient.
me: The laptop is not working?
her: No. We can’t get it to boot up.
me: Alright. (opens laptap and presses power button. power button flashes a few times and nothing happens.)
me: Right the battery is dead. (hands laptop back)
her: Yeah we've been using it off the battery because at the front desk there’s no cord there. Is there?
me: … is there what?
her: A power cord at the front desk. Well you wouldn’t know that, would you?
me: No.
her: Well we have a power cord at the desk in the back because we have to have that other laptop plugged in because of the mouse.
me: ??? ... Well you should have a power cord for both laptops.
her: Right. Where can we get another battery?
me: You don’t get another battery just plug it in and it will recharge.
her: So if it’s plugged in we can work on it and it will recharge?
me: Yes.
her: Wow. You’re teaching me so much about computers maybe I’m going to get one myself.
me: ... bangs head against desk
