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)
