Come to think of it a friend of mine had to try to rescue the
contents of a laptop hard disk. Turns out the people had gone on
holidays and, worried about losing the computer during a break-in,
decided to "hide" it. In the empty, top loading washing machine. I
think you can guess what happened next...

Perhaps not genetically, unless you've got some Scottish history. My
dad is always thinking of a million things at once, just so happens
that list doesn't often include practical things like not breaking
electronic devices. I'll try to get along to the next HantsLUG
meeting so we can see if there's any resemblance.
