    Talking User reviews on reseller sites...

    Every so often, you read a review from someone who's bought a piece of kit and you think to yourself "this person obviously received a cross-species brain donation from a chicken". I present exhibit A, from someone yclept "Dale", concerning how his new SATA controller caused his PC to explode....
