Reminds me of two things:
First, somebody I knew from college referred to his first job after school as "Keeper of the Magic Smoke." He used to get odd looks from people and would have to explain that it's the magic smoke inside computers that make them work, and when that smoke escapes, that’s when you know your computer is done in. This was an interesting guy. He was a very smart guy who ended up in R&D for a computer company in California.

Secondly, I'm reminded of the time that my wife’s laptop lost its magic smoke. Although, it smelled a lot more like melting plastic than I imagined magic smoke would. Bottom line, the HD survived, but the board and the PS were melted together. Touching really, the two of them will now go through life together.
