Haha! Unfortunately this happened to me, but it wasn't a cigar. :( The computer actually started smoking.

Well done!

Chuckle..snort! Probably not, but it's kinda to be expected trying to batch process photos on a Compaq. Darker surface with a bit of light would probably have kicked up the contrast of the smoke to the left, of course if this was really a candid of your laptop deep frying itself, you get the pity vote.

It is the smoke that makes electronic devices. Once you let the smoke out, they don't work any more.

This is great! I work in the tech industry and have refurbished SO MANY of those Compaqs that setting them on fire has passed through my mind many, many times. ;D *sends link to this photo to all her tech friends*

What's not very good is that it is too obvious that the smoke does not come out of the laptop.

Ah, you let the smoke out! You got the machine to put the smoke back in?? Good idea but its a bit flat of an image.

"Fatal Error!" only 9 out of 10, it would have been a 10 taken more care over the setup!
