Bonjour Alan,

Well, all my hair is still standing straight up, after being electrocuted. Maybe
when my hair returns to normal...  ;-)

Actually, sexual disfunction hasn't been a problem...yet. Maybe it will now. ;-)

The funny thing about the whole event is that I'm deathly afraid of electricity.
I kept reminding the service guy that my computer is ON, as is the power, and I
have 4-fans running. He kept saying don't worry. But as soon as I touched the
power cord to my hard-drive, I saw a spark and got zapped.

I always thought that one NEVER deals with anything electrical with the power
on.

Regardless, I thought that at the very least, that I'd wiped out my hard-drive.
But my preliminary tests suggest that everything is there.

Au Revoir, Alan

Stephen
