Mike,
No... but I once wrote a TSR in C with some
assembly that would occasionally wipe out my bios. I did fix it eventually..... Da#n that pointer arithmetic. Every time it
wiped it out, I had to reconfigure my bios settings... Ugh! I wrote the TSR just for fun too. As it turns out, TSR were
on their way out at the time. Da#n Windows. DOS rules!
Oh yeah I left a computer out in my car once (a
50lb "portable computer" that I bought at WeirdStuff next to first Fry's
Electronics in Sunnyvale CA; 8088 rules!).... when I plugged it back in the
condensation short circuited the board and all the magic smoke left the ICs. At
least I don't have to worry about condensation in AZ.

Python Programming with the Java Class Libraries -
A Jython Tutorial
This book introduces the programming language known
as Jython. Jython is an implementation of the Python language designed for
use with the Java Virtual Machine.
Jython allows Java developers to
increase their productivity and overcome some of the limitations of Java.
With Jython, for example, one can quickly implement modules that use
collections or regular expressions, without compromising on object-oriented
principles and portability. More importantly, Jython supports extending Java
applications and gluing together of multiple related systems.
The author
provides numerous detailed code examples on a wide range of programming
topics, from user interfaces to databases.

these.
