          I had a buddy who was having a bad day, so in mock frustration, he lightly banged his head on the front of this computer. It was all fun and games until his head hit the power switch. IIRC, he didn't lose any data, so nothing bad happened, but still... that had the potential for going postal written all over it.

            Luckily, my main PC is a notebook. This happens to me from time to time, the monitor I work on dies, but the notebook goes to battery. I am thinking of buying a desktop right now, tho.

              LOL! Another reason I like laptops. There's been a few cases where I've been coding away for a couple hours, only to discover the "you're battery is getting low" message popping up. Whoops! It's particularly amusing when that happens during a power outage, and that's the only way I realize the power went out. Marc

                    That's why i use a UPS. And keep it at eye-level. And zip-tie the cords to solid supports, just in case. But i do hate it when, at 3:30 on a Friday, i find a huge show-stopper bug that really needs to be fixed 'fore Monday. Like just now...

                          3 times in the past 2 weeks. Keeps thinking this will save electricity and no one uses it after 5 pm since no one is hear.

                                  I hate it when I'm hot-in-the-middle developing something, I haven't saved a line of code, and my cutest-little-girl-in-the-world granddaughter hits the reset button on the front of my dev box.

                                        You've explained all the details of the bug that has been hunting you for hours and they just sits there, looking inappreciative... and then I remember -- The dogs never passed the programming course...
