Okay, okay... this reminds me of a story!
Several years ago, when 486s were the newest, most expensive things on
the scene, and Atari STs still looked like a viable option, a friend of
mine decided it was about time his girlfriend (blonde to the core)
learned a little something about using the computer. That was his
first mistake.
So he sat her down at the 1040 STe and proceded to boot it up for her.
She being a classic example of "afraid that she'll break it by touching
the wrong key", reached out apprehensively and touched pushed on the
space bar...
At that very instance, a minivan speeding down the road in front of
their place, under the control of a VERY drunk driver, veered off the
road and through a power pole a couple hundred feet past their place.
This had the marvelous effect of bringing the lines together, shorting
them across the big transformer on the pole directly in front of their
house...
One incredible bright flash of light and a house-shaking *BOOM* later,
the power went out, leaving this chick cowering on the floor saying
over and over, "I didn't do it, I didn't do it!"
>From then until they finally broke up, she never went near his computer
again.
