iMac burns, melts, survives to tell the gruesome tale

We reckon this is a story with something for everyone. Microsoft zealots can see Apple’s hardware burnt beyond melting point, while Cupertino loyalists can enjoy the fact that the iMac lived on after it. Anders Norman of Sweden recently suffered a major house fire, but has emerged from it with some good humor and a scorched but amazingly still functional computer. He tells us that even the mouse’s scroll wheel is operational and he took a picture of the iMac displaying the local news website’s report of his home’s unfortunate demise.
