Holy crap! This is a first: my computer actually caught fire yesterday. You read that right, smoke, flames and all. It all started when I tried to plug in an old disk drive (that's diskETTE drive) for a reason which I have no intention of getting into. I plugged everything in, pressed the on button and watched as my RAM counted up. A good 10 seconds must have passed before I noticed the big cloud of white smoke billowing out of my case. The power cable was on fire, its insulation dripping onto other cables and setting them alight! Let me tell you, this crap burns like there's no tomorrow. I managed to turn off the machine which, luckily, made the fire subside. The place stunk but all I cared about was my beautiful new motherboard, my sweet, precious, RAID enabled baby... After some cable pruning and rewiring I pressed the on button and watched my ex-towering inferno boot up with its soothing purr and lovely lovely beep. Pfew. I was pretty much telling everyone already not to bother with diskettes anymore, to forget about buying disks and just to switch to USB keys to transfer data but now, now I have made my mission to banish these hellish beasts from computers everywhere. I mean, being obsolete and unreliable is bad enough but when you start a fire in my MiniATX case you're really asking for trouble. Damn you floppy disk drive! Damn yoooooouuu!
