I know a guy who has axed a computer to pieces...Quote:
"Who hasn't felt like doing that?" said a police spokesman.
Besides, the computer probably deserved it...
The most i've done is taken a sledge hammer to a old 17inch crt monitor and a old p2 desktop.
felt good just slamming the sledge hammer into it and watching it crumble to a million pieces lol.
ROFL! Snap.
Does anyone else hear the saying "a computer is never wrong" somewhere in the back of their minds?
Cant say i have ever attacked a computer.... except kicking the occasion machine for diagnostic purposes :p
Your sig says otherwise :PQuote:

My approach:
1. Format and reinstall something useful.
2. Perform open heart surgery (without an anesthetic:lildevil:) and cannibalise for spare parts.
3. Redeploy as a games, educational, sheep-dip, router, firewall, access control, time management or whatever device.
With a bit of imagination you can do a lot with stuff you have lost patience with?
Hell's teeth, if I were to destroy everything disfunctional around me I would have to start by cutting my own throat shaving? :eek:
Constantly dreaming about it and having done it in the past are two separate things my friend :DQuote:

Hey CT1 old sport,
Nah.......... they are having a bad day.:jack:Quote:

My point was that most computer problems are self inflicted, and those that aren't generally mean that you should re-allocate the kit to other duties?
Errrr.............. bit difficult cutting your throat with one of them fancy four bladed thingies :D ............ I tested on a parking warden first..........honest Guv! ;)
My personal experience with this type of activity leads me to think that 99% of all computer related issues are the connection between the chair and the keyboard.... :)
I haven't ever actually dismembered any PCs but they DO make excellent paintball targets....
I DID have a customer once who was so mad at his $1500 dotmatrix printer (Big floorstanding unit) that he kicked it out his third floor window... while walking to his phone to call his insurance company about "accidently" knocking it out his window... :)
Anybody that wants to trash their computer can send them over here...
Donkey Punch - it's ages since I heard that "description", aka your nick.
Hope you know the true definition of your nick. :D
Yes, I do. Talk to DarkSnake. He gave me the idea ages ago.Quote:

The only time I would justify 'flipping out' would be when you are in the middle of coding or something and the pc explodes into a million bits and bytes, losing all of your data. But that is a rare occation.
Computers can be indeed very frustrating. worst thing I ever done punched my fist through the 17"" crt emachine monitor then picked up the computer walked outside and body slammed it on the cement, and kicked it in the optical drive walked down to where the garbage dumpster was and slammed into the dumpster. Sure I felt better but my hand got cut pretty good had to get a couple butterfly stitches for it. Would I do it again you bet. I love computers and have a passion for them however, they can be very agravating / frustating. Just my two cents
I have a stack of harddrives i have been saving
I am gonna one day take a sledgehammer to them one day...
Just for fun
MLF
I have found it is better for my personal economy to take out frustration on other peoples hardware.
I found Donkey Punch explained in T-shirt form. :)

LOL - that sounds like something Homer J would say. "From now on honey, we will be spelling Everything with letters"
-- 99% of computer errors occur between the chair and the keyboard --

Morgan,
I save my drives for the rifle range. Great for sighting in guns.
