REAL LIFE NEWS: COMPUTERS CAN BE DEADLY

by Hazed

Here's a sad tale of a Canadian woman who was killed in a car crash. Nothing unusual about that; hundreds of people die on the roads every day. The significant thing in this case is that investigators found that she probably would have survived if it hadn't been for her laptop computer.

It had been placed on the backseat of the car, unsecured, and in the crash it flew forward and hit her in the back of the head.

I guess this is a warning that any heavy objects in your car, whether its computers or shopping, should be strapped down!
