No real scary things with an Amiga, other than the usual, things not sitting right in the 4000 mobo etc, and paniciking that I had killed it. Always got me for a few seconds sometimes.

Did manage to kill a 68000 on a 500 with the GVP drive when it was powered on.

Best things that I will be scarred for life are PC ones unfortunately.

* Was cold so I put the Gas heater on at work and pulled it close behind my chair, at home time I dismantled my pc to take it home, turned push the chair out the way with my knee and fell over the heater, send my pc in into a triple somersault and crashing to the floor, one dead drive and a "doing the splits" case

* Same again but trip over in car park and nearly broke my foot trying to stop the case hitting the floor. My foot managed to get underneath but it still killed the drive and a bruised my foot.

* Probably my best PC Murder/Death/Kill was during a full works upgrade with brand new case, mobo, processor, memory, gfx and hard disk in that I had tested working using the existing case PSU but decide to upgrade with a bigger rating one I had knocking about to allow me to put raid drives in, unfortunately this PSU went pop and killed everything bar the hard disk. Expensive day.
was Enterprise Vault (Its an Exchange Fail!), now its EMC Avamar, Dedupe for mostly everything including brain cells.
