Oh I had one of those - an Acer - before this current laptop. I
  loved that little thing.

  It was on that little thing that I discovered Google Plus and
  Hangouts (I think it was called "Google Circles" at the time) -
  and met loads of people that way...

  ...until one day, in a public hangout, I showed them the "how to
  boil water in a paper cup" trick.

  I used a beer I had.

  Well it worked.

  It boiled.

  Then someone wanted to see the bottom of the cup.

  It wasn't fully empty.

  Poured a few drops of hot beer in my keyboard. Bzzzzt... dead.
