Okay wow... I knew those things spun fast but... Alright, so like about 5 minutes ago, I was installing an old game on my PC when I heard a loud "pop" like a fire cracker and then my computer was making some weird noise. I thought something major just burst so I shut the whole thing down. Turns out, upon starting it up, it was the disk reader. I took out the drive and pried it open to find... the shattered remains of Disk 1. I mean SHATTERED. I have no idea what happened but I blame spirits.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
