Obligatory 'puter 'sploded post

My computer exploded.
In that quiet not very explosive way they some times do where the lights and fans come on but no body is home, because somewhere inside the mother board and much of the rest of it is secretly dead.
I blame the power source, and in turn the shoddy wiring around here and our shoddy corporatised power network with all the fucking blackouts and surges they ceaselessly subject my rural nowhere area to. It's like living in Atlantis, limited connectivity, 2 weeks from mail order computers, no electricity, no roads and frequently underwater.
In typing this post I discover the new non worn out keyboard I got along with the replacement computer turns out to have a power off fucking short cut key in between the arrow keys and enter (edit: and delete, that was a close one!) (son of a bitch).
So anyway that explains why I've been strangely quiet lately.
But now I'm back, and I'm mad... Well I'm not mad (except about the STUPID power button, convenient my ASS) but as I understand it that's just something you say when you are back. The bit about being mad, not the bit about the convenient power button.
