In the midst of our latest bout of computer terrorism (somehow, we must have acquired HAL's cousin for our PC), my dad and I were swapping components around to test things out. This pissed off HAL's cousin quite thoroughly, and it fought back. As Dad plugged in the power cord, I watched and he felt the electricity arc and shock the heck out of him. Twice.
The result (as far as I can tell right now, but you never know what else come to light): 2 blown monitors.
So off to the big box of geekdom we trekked, and thankfully, I got lucky, finding 2 very decently priced units that fit in the cabinet space I have, no problem.
I hooked Sammy up with his new monitor, and you'd think I just gave him the golden ticket into Fantasyland. He just sat there glassy-eyed and whispered, "Thank you, Mommy, for my new computer." You got it, little man.
He's probably updating his secret blog right now.
