I have the worst luck with computers.

**Moogy** · 01-14-2006, 12:57 PM

Yeah, so, first my internet went down for a week... almost immediately after it was fixed, there was a power surge that destroyed my desktop. Pity me.

<3 surge protectors

Jeez, even i don't have that bad luck...
but my new desktop has speakers that transmit radio signals 24/7... It was really freaky when I first heard the sounds...

tnyhwk900 · 01-14-2006, 06:21 PM

I use a power strip with an embedded surge protector, so I have nothing to worry about. You should get one, they're like $20.

Once at school a squirrel ran into a power generater on a telephone pole. We saw a big blue flash from my Art Class. Five minutes later we lost power for the rest of the day.

LOL. That's what sometimes would happen where I used to live (a neighborhood of trailers). Often me and my family got to see a small charred body fall from the sky.

PS: Has anyone heard of There? It's an virtual world that I play. Best of all, the regristration is free for now =D I GOT SUPER ORANGE BUNNY SLIPPERS!!!!!! =D

I had similar bad luck with my new iPod. In short, currently looking for it. For the fifth time. Since Christmas.

There is no way it's been eleven weeks. I'm doing something wrong rofl.

**lightdarkness** · 01-14-2006, 07:45 PM

Moogy, how the hell did a surge kill your computer? You gotts to have surge protectors

**87x** · 01-14-2006, 07:49 PM

I somehow doubt you have worse luck than me.

If a surge took out your computer, that must really suck. I have a powerstrip with a built in serge protector. To further protect my computer, the computer downstairs is plugged into a direct surge protector. Serges aren't gonna pwn FluorescentArmy.

Sympathy for Moogy and his lovely Pink Octupi legs....

Grandiagod · 01-14-2006, 11:15 PM

He might have had a surge protector. The problem is cheap surge protectors wear out after one or two surges.

FluorescentArmy · 01-15-2006, 09:56 AM

I dont remember how much mine cost, but I do remember it was about 3 weeks of allowance back in the day.
lol

Yanah_God · 01-15-2006, 01:27 PM

Your computer got raped, all because you didn't get a surge protector.

That's what you get for being a dumbass.

Neenerneener.

(I really feel sorry for you, though.

)

**Moogy** · 01-15-2006, 04:14 PM

I don't have a surge protector. Well, I didn't. I do now.

Tps222 · 01-15-2006, 04:20 PM

The only thing a power surge ever destroyed of mine was a router, cheap one, so I didn't care.

It's a sign moogy, someone doesn't want you using the internet.

Yanah_God · 01-15-2006, 04:27 PM

If he payed attention to the signs he would've stopped using it 17 years ago.
