Retro Geek Accident of the Day

I'm trying to access my Ask Bonnie videos off of zip discs from 1999 so I can upload them all on Youtube and get groupies. Only I plugged it into a 16V adapter instead of a 5V adapter and fried it. Now my desk area smells like burning, and my coworkers are mocking me for using old school technology.

Perfect.

I Don't Care How Psychotic You Are...

A short clip from one of my Ask Bonnie videos for @Home Network

And a wackier one here.
