Has Amiga ever burned down anyone's house?

I'm ashamed to admit it but yes i almost did burn my house down. When i was about 10 i had a temper problem. I had a habbit of punching things when i lost. After i lost a game (can't remember which) i punched the monitor on the screen and the monitor went flying off the back of the table. Sparks flew everywhere and set fire to the curtains which i wisely moved quickly out the way after i hand held the flame to put it out. I never lost my temper again. Lifes biggest lesson.


Was this yesterday?

I zapped myself good with 110V poking around inside a dead 3000T power supply while it was plugged in.  Live heatsink indeed!

No fires though, just nearly bit my tongue off.

I wouldn't last a year in a country with 240V.
