Very Very Dirty

BTW... i work on computers for a living and the shit i see on laptops makes me wanna gag..

me too man, desktops are harder to see whats going on, but as soon as u open them, u can see if the owner wipes the dust in his home, etc. Sometimes is so much dust (i clean them with an air compressor) that i have to do it at distance, lol...some ppl dont even imagine whats inside their boxes, and some that see me cleaning their pc's, make comments like: "oh, theres a bit of dust there..." , and i think to myself: "a bit?"...lloolol

as for laptops the thing gets worse, since they have keyboard integrated :P at first i was cleaning every single laptop, mainly the screen, cause its a amazing how some screens look and their owners dont do sh!t about it. Now, i just dont do anything at all, because ppl dont even bother to say thanks, or to realize: "hey, this is clean".

i've seen almost everything on keyboards, and i hope i dont get to see more

I've been working IT since 1995, from 95-00 I was in retail repair and saw a LOT of machines cross my bench... probably 8-10 a day five days a week... in that period of time I saw some pretty nasty machines, but only ONE was bad enough that I flat out refused to work on the machine.

From all appearances the machine was used as an ashtray... the owner was the sort who had yellow stained hands except where the cig sat between the two fingers... that was worn down to flesh colors due to the rapid rotation of coffin nails in and out of his hand/mouth/pack/etc... there was more tar stuck to the inner works of that machine than I've seen on most rooftops!!!

I called the guy up and told him that we simply couldn't work on the machine, when asked why, I advised him that none of our techs wanted to deal with the nasty that was inside it... he was upset until he came and saw the system... what boggles my mind is he stepped outside and lit another cig...
