damn the pic
First time I saw that... it was a 9-bit (8+parity) 30 pin SIMM crammed into an ISA slot. I have never seen so blackened a computer before. Fried EVERYTHING. Seriously, so bad it looked fake (as in, 12V can't POSSIBLY do this!).

I laughed my way through every frame, especially the one showing all the crap they'd pulled out of computers. I've seen every one.

My favorite was a man who's ex had broken into his home and filled his Compaq all-in-one PC (the little guys with a 14" monitor and a PC all in one case, kind of like old Macs) with cooking oil by pouring it in through the CRT vents. It didn't work, obviously, and when I opened it up, out came about 2 quarts of vegetable oil, which had corroded everything. If I wasn't laughing so hard, I'd have been mad, because I now had this oil all over my grounding mats and work bench.

Hell hath no fury...

Like works fine for me now... That is the story of my life. :D

that was funny and yet all so true. friend told me something about techtv. a cus support person was helping someone with their comp and finaly got to the monitor cus asked what monitor was then went on for a few more min. finaly the rep asked him to turn comp on and the guy said he couldnt because he was in a black out at the moment. the rep told him to box it up take it back. the cus asked if it was that bad and the rep said that a dumbass like him shouldnt be able to own a comp. he got fired and that was y he called techtv. i liked eries story just shows how vicious women can be and yet realy funny to the rest of us.

That story has been attributed to WordPerfect tech support, Compaq, IBM, AST, and more. I received my first copy of that story via email in, oh, probably 1993.

It's an iUrban Legend<sup>tm</sub>.

I enjoyed that it was pretty funny
