Up in Smoke

All hopes of going on a vacation went up in smoke today. Yes ladies and gentlemen, we have managed to put another computer out of commission. How you ask? Apparently my husband believes it's the "third world hell hole" of an electricity grid we have here in Canada.

After suffering 6 hours of NO water (from 6pm to midnight), our power went every 10 minutes to 1/2 an hour.....no real reason, just random power outages. Now, despite us having these surge protectors, the electricity flare ups were no match for the CPU.

After spending a ridiculus amount of money, my husband has gone pissing off to bed totally fed up with his new computer parts. And I really don't blame him.

How much more can a couple of people take?
