iBook is a laptop (with a builtin battery backup!)
Authored by: designr on Feb 13, '06 10:52:48PM

One time, when I was renting a house, the electrician my landlady hired accidentally crossed both hot legs off the pole effectively making the house current 220v -- just for a moment until the distribution panel exploded throwing him on his a**. In that short moment, all the surge protectors exploded -- two caught fire -- causing my maid to run screaming from the house screaming and flailing her arms in terror...

Note to self: NEVER get the landlady's electrician drunk before he finishes playing with the live wires.

All computers, TVs, etc. survived and are still in good working order. Good surge protectors!

OK. You had to ask...
