Best customer service move I've ever seen was when Google sent coworker a box full of tshirts, pens, little flash drives, a fleece and god only knows what else as "combat pay" after the drive thingie they'd sent burst into flame. Oh, and a condolences card. Best part was the box was the original drive's box, so he thought it was the replacement drive. That came the next day.
It wasn't their fault, all they had to do was send a new drive. But someone had a lot of fun instead. It was adorable.

Nora, out here the gas company will come out and light any pilot lights for free, just to happily do their part to prevent house explosions. You might consider giving you gas co. a call to see if they do the same. You'd have to wait for them to show up, but it's something to consider.
Nora, at a guess you've got some kind of electrical ignition for the oven part. It could be something like a broken wire, or else the thermocouple has stopped working. Unfortunately, it's definitely the kind of problem that you
really
want a professional to look at, because with the gas and the electricity and the possible Going Boom.
I smited McAfee's process and my computer has become much less flaky. The tray icon won't die, but it appears to be defanged.
