Not all computer bashing is anger related...

In the late 80's on my 286 5Mhz when I was 6 or so, I once accidentally formatted C:/> (10 Mb Harddisk!) instead of A:/> (5,25" floppy). Without the damned system files present I couldn't install a thing on it anymore. :< I was without a clue as to what to do.. (parents comp :P ) and decided to look inside to see if I could fix it. After 2 hours of messing about with screwdrivers (and other tools) I had finally opened up the very tough to open up PC and located the harddisk! I disassembled the harddisk, but didn't see anything broken. When I tried to reassemble it however, I could not get it together anymore. :<

So I was left with a PC that had a broken harddisk that was literally in pieces and had to come up with a way to hide the fact I wasn't able to computer. (I didn't want computer privileges to be provoked because I messed it up!). So I was left with no other choice but to shoved the PC down to the stairs.

Later when parents came home and saw what had happened to the know very denty and broken computer, they were angry! But at least they would never know I fucked up the harddisk because I suck at computering, but rather a physical incapability to carry a 20 kilogram or something (thing was huge. :< ) PC down the stairs.

The new computer was also a 286 5 Mhz but this one had a turbo button on the keyboard to go 10 Mhz. :> I've since many times contemplated about doing the same stair trick when I wanted to upgrade the PC. But I could hold myself together fortunatly. :P
