Do any of the geeks know if it is actually possible that some people emit rays which cause computers to crash, freeze or malfunction in bizarre ways?

Mrs Nick has this effect (OK she is a mouse clicker) and has crashed three machines (twice each so call it 6 times)  in the house today.

SHe manages this most times she uses a computer.

Well?

Yes it is possible, I believe that scientists call them Nickorays

I couldn't wear a watch between the ages of 6 to 15. Every time I wore one, it stopped.

Miss Snoopy can do this as indeed can Mrs Snoopy's sister. I spend half my life sorting out their Laptops and PCs. Even worse when SiL visits as she will insist on bring dubious CDRs with her for the child to view/play with/learn from. The only thing learned is bad language from me. I now remove the PC from the child's room before her Aunt gets here.
Her last visit before one (ie before I adopted the "Sorry it's off for repair" story) it cost me £100 to get the damn thing fixed. Geek in PC repair shop laughed a lot and told me someone had imported "nasties" that had defeated my anti virus software and stripped the hard drive. That may, of course, have been a "con" but it's for sure the bugger wouldn't work after the witch had been on it and if it was a yarn to get money out of me he must have a brother in another shop who said the same thing but wanted even more to put it right.

And when you were 16?? What changed?

My grandfather's watches all ran backwards when he put them on.

It may be the mouse clicking. When I got back on here a few minutes ago she had opened up Internet Explorer 12 times (all blank). Why???

I think the precise technical term is Nick-o-Rays™

Poor Mrs.Nick doesn’t stand a chance…

I was always getting static shocks, didn't matter what kind of clothing I wore. Gradually it stopped.

Ever go to kiss a girl and get an electric shock thru the lips - doesn't do much for the passion.

Because they are impatient and when a double click does not give them instant access they repeat the action ..... several times until the first one opens in due course. All the others then open and sit at the bottom/side/top (depends on how you have configured your desktop) and they NEVER CLOSE THEM!

Nylon clothing and rubber soles I spect. If you began wearing cotton stuff at 16 that would have cured it.

When I was in a brief nylon underpants phase (why?) I used to send lightning bolts out as I got undressed at night.

Nylon knickers on her and nylon socks on you = Static. Next time wear cotton socks and ask her to take her knickers off before she kisses you ~ you both know that is the deal anyway so it'll also save time.
