I had my switch blow out on me yesterday while I was at work. Which meant all my internet traffic ceased. This is the second Linksys switch I’ve had burn up on me in 4 years. I’m thinking of stocking backups just in case.

An odd side effect of this all seems to be the loss of a hard drive in my main computer too. I haven’t lost any data….yet. I’m in data recovery mode. It seems when it rains it pours.
