One of the things I read today on our family of sites is a thread over on Geeks asking what the worst thing is that has ever happened to a computer of yours. Oh boy did that ever get me to thinking. Sadly, some of the “worst” things that have happened to me all show up somewhere out there in YouTube land. I guess maybe it was the time Wicket threw up all over my Macbook. That may not have broken anything – but it certainly was disgusting!

In all my years of doing this stuff, I’ve heard thousands of “computer boohoo” stories. Things break – or we break them ourselves. What’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to a machine of yours? Was it your fault, or just plain bad luck? Leave a comment and tell us your story! And while you’re thinking of what to say – make sure you check out what else is going on in our Geek realm.
