What IS it with you? The whole world has sunshine and it rains only on
you? MY theory on your 'luck' with computers is your own ineptitude.
You're doing something YOU think isn't wrong but it is.

The word is CONJECTURE, in order to qualify as a theory, there has to
be
massive substantiating evidence. With a little evidence you have only
arrived
at Hypothesis. And you don't even have this, yet.

Being gentle, there is a huge hole in your theory. That hole is hard
drives. They are constantly spinning up and spinning down. If a power
supply could be damaged the way you think they can, any system with a hard
drive would experience such failures.

But then you could have something, as power supply failures are quite
common. Note I'm only half joking there. :) -Dave

I disagree with you...

Harddisks shutdown for a long time because of inactivity... or they simply
keep on spinning for a long time...

And when they do spin up, they do so slowly... not abruptly.

Harddisks were designed by IBM.

We all know what happens when you try to take on IBM.

You go down burning in flames ! =D

Bye,
