That's why I never by lottery tickets.

In over 2 decades working with PCs, the only time I saw a crash (not a toast!) 
was when I unplugged a keyboard from a PC-XT. The AT boards didn't do that 
anymore.  And beleive me, I have done these swapings many,many,many,many, 
many times over, continued using the machine and NEVER smelled anything 
burning.

But a new thing is a new thing and I am a fast learner, so, agreeing with 
Josh, I too suppose it could happen.
