How the heck does pressing the Reset button fry the computer? You’d think if it could do that, they’d have left it off entirely.

My parents still don’t believe that story, but that is how I pretty much remember it (I can’t remember if I shut it off with the pole, or saw it on and turned it off). But it never turned on again either way. I’m not sure of the reasons, but I know the other six (trying to install software as hardware, Geting the computer in safe mode and it would never ever come out afterwards, old age and deconstruction of it to learn, Illegally downloading way to much [I learn my lesson, I was thirteen] and one of the motherboards I blew up, and my last computer who lived with me and did just about everything with me). :(
But with my luck I’ve been the one to take down every computer that we have owned in my house (with the exception of one my brother destroyed).

Actually my dream job would be testing computers. If it lasted more than six months of constant use by me, I would buy it till the cows came home (well, that and I could install Mac OS.)
