Don't install Windows ME on Tony Soprano's computer

Georgie, the bartender at the Bada Bing, decides to upgrade the computer in Tony's office from Windows 98 to Windows ME, thinking that it will improve the performance and security of the machine. However, he does not inform Tony or Silvio about his plan, and he does not back up any of the files or settings on the old system. When Tony arrives at the club, he finds out that his computer is running a different operating system, and that he cannot access any of his important documents, emails, or contacts. He also notices that the computer is slower, crashes frequently, and displays error messages. Tony is furious and confronts Georgie, who tries to defend his actions and explain the benefits of Windows ME. Tony does not buy it and beats Georgie with a keyboard, breaking his nose and several teeth. Silvio intervenes and tries to calm Tony down, while also scolding Georgie for messing with the boss's computer. He tells Georgie to restore the old system and recover the lost data, or else he will face more severe consequences. Georgie agrees and apologizes, but he secretly has no idea how to do it. He calls a tech support hotline, but he gets frustrated by the long wait time, the language barrier, and the lack of helpful advice. He also tries to search for solutions online, but he only finds outdated or irrelevant information. He becomes desperate and considers stealing a new computer or hiring a hacker, but he realizes that he does not have enough money or connections to do either. He decides to lie and tell Tony that he fixed the problem, hoping that Tony will not notice or care. However, Tony soon finds out that his computer is still running Windows ME, and that none of his files or settings have been restored. He is enraged and decides to make an example of Georgie, by ordering a hit on him. He tells Paulie and Christopher to take care of it, and to make it look like an accident. Paulie and Christopher agree, but they are not too keen on killing Georgie, who they consider a harmless and loyal employee. They decide to stage a car crash, by cutting the brakes on Georgie's car and following him on the road. However, their plan goes awry when Georgie's car swerves and hits a truck carrying gasoline, causing a massive explosion that kills Georgie and several bystanders. Paulie and Christopher barely escape the blast, but they are injured and their car is damaged. They report back to Tony, who is shocked and saddened by the outcome. He regrets his decision and wonders if he overreacted. He also realizes that he still has to deal with his computer problem, and that he has lost a valuable source of income and information. He decides to buy a new computer and hire a professional to set it up and secure it. He also decides to be more careful and cautious with his technology and his temper, and to appreciate the people who work for him. He pays his respects to Georgie's family and friends, and makes a generous donation to the victims of the explosion. He also orders a drink at the Bada Bing, and raises a toast to Georgie, who he calls "a good kid who meant well".
