Interesting tales… Sorry to hear about your story Marie, I think that one got my attention the most.

I *almost* had a bad one… I closed my laptop lid (like I do every day) to put the laptop in my backpack and head to work. The laptop is supposed to go into hibernation when I do that, and I usually look at the computer itself to make sure that it did indeed go into hibernation… but this one time I didn’t check and just put it in my backpack. When I got to work and eventually pulled the laptop out of my backpack it was SUPER hot, it hadn’t gone into hibernation and was on the verge of overheating. I don’t think laptops handle overheating very well to start with, and this thing was crazy hot. I’m glad it didn’t melt down or fry something inside of it. Close call.

As a spy I always have enemies. Ones that I know and ones that I don’t know. When I saw a ad in my mail box about a laptop give away I was suspicious but I entered it anyway. I get a call 4 weeks later saying I won a new HP laptop so im happy. When the laptop arrived I tore open the box and turned on the laptop. But when I turned it the screen turned red. Then it said. SELF DESTRUCT IN 5…4..3..2..1 BOOM!I run out just in time. Crap………..

I was out shopping and buying alot of items that added up roughly to about 15 shopping bags. Well I had just bought a brand new laptop and I put that bag/box on the top of the car, while I was loading the other bags in the car. Well it was a very bad day for me to begin with and ended up to be a very sad day for me. I drove off with the laptop on my car and unfortunately I didn’t realize that I left it on the roof until I got home. I went back to retrack my route and the laptop and receipt were no where to be found. I am sure someone pulled over and grabbed it. I was soo upset, that I just spent $1400.00 and no laptop. I am still not over it. :(

It was after dinner and I was playing my grannys’ laptop. Something all of a sudden started to malfungtion. And the laptop started to rumble and everyone ran outside. I looked over and saw that my granny was still in the house. All of a sudden it was calm. We ran into the house and saw my Gateway had exploded on her lap. Ahhhhhh gessssssssss!

The light was out and I was on the laptop typing away. It was 11:00 at night and my parents were out, I was alone in the huse. All of a sudden I heard the wooden floor boards creak. And thats when I knew I was not alone in the house. I saw out of the corner of my eye a flash of light in the darkness and I looked up from my laptop. I quietly got out of bed to turn on the lights, but there was a problem……….the electricity just went out. I started to shiver. It was to scary in my room, since its in the basement, so I went to hide in the upstairs restroom. Then the door shot open, I screamed and threw my laptop in the air, it landed in the toilet. There my dad stood in the door way. Phhhhhuuu!
