Aha - yes you are on the right track, I think. I was looking at the same word before _ diodes but in fact _ valves is correct for the anagram.

Thermionic seems to almost be there but not quite. It's not often that I say this, but we need somebody older than me!

Why wouldn't thermionic be there? It is the the correct answer!

I had to do some stuff on someone else's machine, but got fed up after about ten minutes, and used IE to download a proper browser.
It really happens, in the really real world!

I've been forced to use IE a lot lately since most other browsers have stopped supporting the java plugin. That means that the only browser I can run the Watchguard VPN client on is IE...

Installing software on someone else's computer when they got by just fine without it and probably didn't ask for it...
Did the owner of that computer feel you were doing him/her a favor?

The FIRST thing I do when I'm asked to fix somebodys computer (the ones I can't get to accept the standard reply ) is to change their Explorer folder settings to show file extensions and hidden files - Can't imagine why anybody would have it any other way!
Obviously couldn't be bothered changing it back afterwards - They should be grateful!

Changing settings that can be changed back with a checkbox is one thing, but installing something like Chrome (and associated services that leaves crap all the place even after you remove install it) is something else altogether.

Not a coffin, a sarcophagus. I am in an enormous vault , dead, and they are paying their last respects.
It’s kind of them to come and do this. They didn’t have to do this. I feel grateful.Now Chris motions for me to open the glass door of the vault. I see he wants to talk to me. He wants me to tell him, perhaps.what death is like.I feel a desire to do this, to tell him. It was so good of him to come and wave I will tell him it's not so bad. It's just lonely.
I reach to push the door open but a dark figure in a shadow beside the door motions for me not to touch it. A single finger is raised to lips I cannot see. The dead aren't permitted to speak.
But they want me to talk.I’m still needed! Doesn’t he see this? There must he some kind of mistake.Doesn't he see that they need me? I plead with the figure that I have to speak to them.It’s not finished yet. I have to tell them things. But the figure in the shadows makes no sign he has even heard.
"CHRIS! " I shout through the door."I'LL SEE YOU!!"
The dark figure moves toward me threateningly ,but I hear Chris’s voice, "Where? " faint and distant. He heard me! And the dark figure, enraged, draws a curtain over the door.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
