So the microwave at chateau phat died during the week, something grounded out and now it emits huge sparks and massive electical shows inside the faraday cage that is the microwave body - it did this while my wife and daughter were doing something. Anyway, the point is, we all survived for many years without microwave ovens - I do it all the time in the boonies - but let the microwave die in the house, and nope, we're running right out to spend 300 bucks on another one, and there's just no convincing she who must be obeyed that we don't need this.. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
