No, I came home was planning on removing USB as you suggested but was pleasantly surprised to find computer sleeping peacefully instead of glaring at me.
I cant figure these things out they have a mind of their own, honestly cant understand why for two weeks it wouldnt sleep and now is fine.
 cant imagine what its like to deal with computers all day....

The trick is to think like a computer, nothing is supposed to happen by itself. I look at the action and try to figure out what would make thew computer feel the need to do what its doing. It usually works
