Right, I'm not much help here. I was, oh, 15?

Ha!

You left out the part of the story where the guy making the BBQ caught on fire. 

Unrelated question: My A3000 still has the original 50Mb Quantum drive that
it boots from. If I cut on the machine and the drive isn't there but a power
cycle revives it then is my drive about to die?

Oh, this reminds me: It's time for everyone to check their clock battery
again. They go bad (while still working) and leak on the motherboard,
destroying it. CHECK YOUR BATTERY.
