Computers seem to be far more prone to doing weird shit around me in some bizarre reverse Midas touch but that doesn't change the fact that they do weird shit.
Yes it is a bit of a sore point because I have to deal with the expensive and stressful consequences of this inane nonsense far more often than I would like, and it is rather difficult to diagnose many of these problems when the troubleshooting software is uncooperative or the backup components duplicate only some of the symptoms of failure and just further complicate the whole process.
