Well in my short computer career i've seen/done the following: Hot-Swapped Hard-Drives/Floppy-Drives/PCI Cards (doesnt everyone get curious?)
Dropped Computers from 4-5 foot onto concrete
Lately i was changing the ethernet on a HP DL-380 and the damn thing literally dropped out of it's rack,landed on the machine below it and brought that down onto the machine below that!. scary moment. first thing i did was ping them.they replied:)
i used to have a PSU (in an old gateway machine) that could withstand the "low power" mode;) it was plugged into 240V on it's 120V setting and happily worked ( although there was this strange buzzing noise )
A VERY intersting story i read lately involved a death metal band, a hard drive and a chop stick! link: http://www.quovadis.qc.ca/eng/news.shtml (scroll to June 13, 2004!)

Who Cares MicroSoft are Porting...It really effects you that much that when microsoft move wmp and ie that you have to run, no walk, the the nearist internet connection and d/l it? Then use it for the rest of your life?
Condemed to use MS Produce as there is Absolutly no other alternates?
GROW UP.
And as for Office...I See No Mention Offically It's Being Ported.
And What's With the un-said ideas that microsoft might release a ver. of linux....would it be linux anymore? methinks NO
And as far as I'm concerned microsoft can continue releasing Buggy Products...Its sooo good i can live nicely on them..for a student
