This is a question The Onosecond

Wired magazine once defined the 'onosecond' as the time between hitting 'send' and realising that you really didn't mean to send that to your granny.

What inappropriate email/text/photo have you sent to wrong people? Are they speaking to you any more?

The Underdogs.com
a few years ago I found a site called 'The Underdogs' - basically a repository of under-rated, mostly ancient, computer games many of which are out of publication and avaliable to download.

Downloaded an old DOS game I remembered from the 1980's at home one afternoon. Opened it up but everything was in french, guessed at one of the 2 options in the menu and the PC rebooted. Still couldn't make head nor tail of the game so thought I'd give up and rebooted the machine.

A dreadful pit-of-the-stomach onosecond when instead of booting Windows 98 the french game appeared again and again. Totally screwed up my computer (thankfully I managed to sort it)
