Tech question

[monkeybard]

So how dangerous is it that my computer's plug lost its grounding prong?  I have the prong, it's just not in the plug anymore.  Frankly, I'm more annoyed than concerned.  But I'm also curious.  I mean, it'd suck it there was a power surge and I lost anything off my hard drive.  Yeah.  That'd suck rocks.

Grounding is good. I think we have a few extra power cables lying around if you need one.

I'm pretty sure you want that prong attached. ;)
but I'm checking with my computer minded husband, I'll let you know what he says...

Um, dare I ask, *how* did you lose the prong?
