I've had twitchy software... and then there's twitchy hardware.

A dud of a gaming laptop from Sager (a rebranded Compal) had USB ports that would short out. Plug in wrong, bZZT! Sorry whole subsystem gone.

I ended up buying a monster Asus gaming laptop a month later (after Anthrocon). This past month, I bought the proper Asus laptop, which is working rather well. The Sager? Stripped for parts and recycled.
