If my computer has a name it would probably be Blasted thing! That's what it ends up as most commonly.

I won't say what I was calling it a little over two weeks ago; suffice it to say it was long, inventive, and not at all complimentary. I was not very happy to find the motherboard, processor and RAM all nicely cooked and partially exploded thanks to a power surge, and my primary hard drive corrupted beyond all hope of rescuing data before I had chance to back up more than a few folders. It finally refused to work with this 'pleasant' smell of burning. 17 days later and it's finally back and working with half the innards replaced: thank God for insurance! Actually, it's quite a substantial upgrade; if it had not cost me about 95% of my data and a lot of lost time I'd be almost happy.
