KaBOOM!

What is the sound of one hand clapping? Don't really care, but I can tell you what a PC sounds like when it explodes. It's loud and there is much smoke. Thus was the fate of our 6-year-old desktop, which I plugged in at Harry's behest (I've been using my new laptop), and BOOM! It now resides in the trash.

Seems there's a wee little button on the back that, if you're informed, is supposed to be switched over when you plug into a 220 outlet. Ahem....Didn't know that.

But why stop there? I cracked the glass on my iPhone and today discovered a nail in Mrs. Tweedy's sidewall.

Best to go back to bed.
