Retrieved from Greater Lafayette Pizza Party and I readily recognized it. (A little unfair though, Mr. Schmeni works for HP! Of course I'd know what this was! We still have a laptop in the house that uses one!)
My high-tech horror story?! Oh gee! So many to choose from.
When the mini Schmenis were small, I worked part time in an office and part time from my home. The mini Schmenis were watching Bill Nye Science Guy while I finished up my billings for work. I had spent the last hour cranking out a good number of invoices. Bill Nye was explaining how electricity worked. He got towards the end of the program (and I was towards the end of my billings) and this "zzzzt" sound happened and our electricity went off.
Of course, I lost the hour's worth of billings.
Do I think that Bill Nye is so powerful to kill my power? Not always. But sometimes, I do wonder!
