    Greetings and an apology.

    To the gentlemen last night that I attempted to lead into the face of the heathen American Imperialists while attempting to retake our glorious desert of Kashan I would like to apologise for deserting you mid-round.

    The blue smoke escaped from my PSU.

    I have, however, managed to get a new one from the QM and will be back in action from 2000Z this evening. I look forward to making it up to you.

    Yep, letting the smoke out is always a bad mistake with these computers.

    I normally take that as a sign that it is time to upgrade.

    I sort of did... Brand new 750W PSU. Well, winter's coming and it keeps the room warm.

    Heh! Umm, if by that you mean the hallucinations you get from inhaling toxic fumes from burnt out transformer coils then yeah. It's that Acrid plastic smell.
