When (not if but when) it fails and you find out the hard way you'll hopefully be as gunshy as I am.
For me, I booted the floppy, it went all the way to 98%, reported FAILED and restarted to nothing. No POST. Dead. Didn't even tell me what failed or what I even did wrong. I was out the money for a motherboard and I never bought MSi ever again that's for sure. Soldered chips then too.
There are so many things you learn from the first time and never attempt again:
1. Sticking your arm into the lion enclosure at a zoo despite warnings to the contrary
2. Touching a hot electric stove burner (red is so enticing!)
3. Finding out what sticking a fork into an outlet really does (it's shocking!)
4. Forgetting to unplug the lamp before trying the potato trick to remove a busted bulb bottom
5. Sitting on a park bench with a rather expensive phone in your back pocket
6. Ruin a motherboard with a botched BIOS update
7. That a penny in a fuse box doesn't actually fix the problem
8. Plugging any expensive consumer electronics (such as a TV) into a 220V low-amp outlet by mistake
9. That cats aren't supposed to drink milk, rabbits aren't supposed to eat carrots, and holly berries are not food
10. when the car dash has 'unleaded fuel only' on it, putting diesel won't work very well or at all.
