memory dump

All IT guys are the same. I had to clean up my hard drive today because I have zero memory. So, Simon, our IT guy explains what will happen to my little laptop, but it's all gibberish to me: "It'll configure itself into a compressed file then upload a....". He explaisn this to me as if I'm a little child, slowly pronunciating each syllable, his little geeky glasses steaming up as he talks. Like I'm meant to know this shit? I'm a writer dude. Anyway, now I keep getting an error message flashing on my screen. It says: "Beginning physical memory dump."
Oh wait, here's another: "Physical memory dump complete."

If I didn't know better, I'd think that something has taken a dump on my hard drive. And then kindly informed me that it had finished.
