Peeve Farm Breeding peeves for show, not just to keep as pets

A stream-of-consciousness Web journal, containing
links, commentary, and pointless drivel.
(...I had to use the title from the e-mail from Kris that contained this link.)
The 15-year-old-girl in South Africa who suffered second-degree burns to her hands and thighs after her laptop exploded was using a Dell machine, it's been revealed.
iafrica.com reports that the laptop was a Dell Inspiron.
The story also quotes the girl's father as saying: "It would appear the battery pack had exploded and disintegrated and set fire to the room."
Ah, for the halcyon days when batteries only caught fire in lab conditions, and when that was the basis for Mac laptops getting a burning reputation.
