The infamous aura of burning surrounding Edinburgh resident Morgan Davie struck again on Friday. At approximately 4.45pm, Mr Davie’s work PC began to “sound like it was clicking its tongue”. Shortly after, the computer desktop stopped working.
\nMr Davie was then shown the error-page known among computer experts as “the blue screen of death”.
\nUpon investigation, it transpired that Mr Davie’s hard drive had burned out. Scorch marks were visible on the hard drive unit. Crucially, all data stored on the hard drive was lost.
\nThis is an unusual fault in year-old components from reputable manufacturer Dell Computers. However, Mr Davie believes the Dell components were not faulty. “I’ve got this aura of burning. Hard drives always burn out on me. They just do. It’s really annoying, actually.”
\nMr Davie has had three hard drives burn out on him in the past, a rate of burnout that is “significantly above the average”.
\nA Dell Computers spokesman had this to say: “That guy’s just got a freaky aura of burning. What ya gonna do?”
