Computer Mishaps

Isnt it amazing how they can rescue data with some of the states those laptops ended up in. Im surprised there werent more stories of people picking up their computers and smashing them on the ground, or kung-fu kicking them through a window. I think if I wanted to damage a computer for giving me grief I would tie it to the back of my car and go for a drive..But luckily Im one patient mother.

Because the monitor displays what you don't want to see, whereas the CPU just emits a soft humming sound, not unlike a sleeping cat. Or something.

How about the time my mom called my husband over to her house to take a look at her printer...which turned out to be UNPLUGGED?

oh boy, my Dad is one of this helpless users and I'm always his last resource. He's the sort of men who always expect the worst and becames cause of that very edgy on the computer, which causes even more mistakes of him.
And if you ask him what he was doing before the PC crashed, he isn't able to tell you that,and I have to appear as his personal clairvoyant.
Once he yelled his computer was broken but it turned out he only didn't turn on the monitor. there are a lot of such stories I've stopped counting them...

But this computer stuff can drive ya insane . The best way to damage this darned thing is with the help of a big sledge hammer.
Oh yees, smash it with all out, involving the engery you lost during this hours of frustration cause of this engine.

Speaking of smashing work equipement....I might watch Office Space this weekend...

They're smashing a printer or a copier in that movie, not a computer, but a computer could easily be inserted in that scene just as well!

That's my fantasy, to smash work equipement! Love that scene in the movie - he he!
