sailgreg Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 I was just wondering has anyone actualy worn out a computer? I have had a computer from 1992 that has been running everday, and it still works fine :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deadzombie Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Ive killed a few Compaqs (hammer...sheet metal clippers...) but I've never worn one out. My most favorite box ever is an old HP Pavilion that lasted from Win95 to Win2k..the poor thing was abused to death, carted around, moved, upgraded, sold to friends, bought back...and it just kept working!

Guest deadzombie Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Speaking of Compaq's...I have a perfectly good Presario 5441 thats been sitting here for a month...it won't give up it's hard drive through conventional means (screwdriver:right: )...so it's about to be introduced to my sheet metal cutters...if it's lucky it may even get to meet my 24.2 Volt power drill :evil: :evil: Hmmm...has anyone seen my accelerant? I've been itching for a good fire lately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
