Well I have never don't anything dumb with a computer (Yea right!). At least you didn't smoke a hard drive and lose a ton of data...
Hopefully you aren't blaming Windows for this. Win 10 has been the most amazing Windows experience I have had yet (well at least after the Anniversary update...). It is almost up to Mac standards now, although it still looks like crap. |

Worst things I've done: 1) Accidentally deleted ALL the user e-mail accounts from the server account manager when working at the ISP years ago. Fortunately the mailbox data was intact, and I had a couple-days-fresh backup of the account structure (registry data). 2) Got a new expen$ive VGA monitor (this was 20+ years ago) and video card. Perusing the documentation for both, noticed that the DIP switches on the card seemingly weren't set properly, so changed them accordingly and burned out the monitor. Got a warranty replacement from the local dealer (who was the future owner of and boss at the ISP) even though he was aware what had happened. |

But this site only has a few Terabytes of data available for this particular forum. Suffice it to say, we've all been there, done that and regretted it. Learned from it? Yeah, well oh, look at the pretty unicorn over there.
I grew up in the Unix world. On my own systems it's been PC-Geos/OS/2/Linux. I like Mint, too.
Due to the inflexibility of my apple customers in the '90s, I had to keep the latest apple and attendant software in my office. I think that was a big part of my resistance to the siren call of the Cult of Steve - having a Macfanboi tell you your OS/2 system s not a 'creative' computer when you'd just pulled his chestnuts out of the fire after the worm in his rotten apple had just kernel-panicked his entire presentation into confetti did not sit well.
