Do I forgive her or not?

Yesterday I was bidding on an Indy Fab Ti Crown Jewel frame and fork. I was the highest bidder going into the last 30 seconds. I even had everything set up to kick in my final bid at the very last second should it be needed. All I had to do was hit the send button. With 8 seconds to go a bid came in $25 higher than my current bid. The bid I had keyed and ready to enter was $150 over that. Just as I was about to hit the send button (from previous experience I've learned that about 6 seconds is the right time to do this), the computer goes off line, as I hear my wife say, "I can't get on-line. I'm going to reset the modem." Needless to say I lost the Indy Fab by $25. Unfreaking believable! I was sooooooo close to getting a frame I've dreamed about for the last few years.
