T his is a nightmare. There's a virus in the house. My personal computer caught it while browsing on the public access network. I come home and the living room is a sauna, the bedroom windows are covered with ice, the refrigerator has defrosted, the washing machine has flooded the basement, the garage door is cycling up and down and the TV is stuck on the Home Shopping channel. Throughout the house, lights flicker like stroboscopes until they explode from the strain.
Broken glass is everywhere.
Of course, the security sensors detect nothing. I get out of the house. Pipes have burst and we're not completely sure we've got the part of the virus that attacks toilets. A pparently, our house isn't insured for viruses. M y agreement with the SmartHouse people explicitly states that all claims and warranties are null and void if any appliance or computer in my house networks in any way, shape or form with an uncertified on-line service.
