Violence Against Computers

I wonder if this was the same guy who sent the pleasant E-mail to MA recently?

 

Never underestimate the value of threatening electronics.

When ever I threaten to toss my pc out a window it immediately starts working the way I want it to :-D

 

I once threatened to chuck a pair of speakers that kept turning off. They behaved after that until my mom opened them up and hacked at them with a screwdriver, trying to "fix" it.

 

Nothing like waving a 12ga. to make it behave itself.

 

When I run into a particularly unfriendly computer, I always lean a sledgehammer against the case. Just so it knows I am serious. :hammer

 

This reminds of this old vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gIex0pd96U I notice the guy in the cubicle next door "prairie dogging" and the final vindictive kick at the end of the vid.

 

Am I alone when I say I've never lost my temper with my PC? Two and a half years and it's been pretty much impeccably behaved. Suffers a bit from lag, but nothing that's going to want to make me toss it out the window. Had some issues before I came to MGs for advice, but was cleared up in 48 hours. Happy days.
