 Did you also know PCs were invented to replace women during the women's rights movement!..........the intention was to have an item that did as it was told, not answer back and be sexy at the same time...............the reality is, there just as temperamental, just as expensive and can be scathing with there comments !

 " You have no administrative rights to perform this action"
 " you have performed an illegal action so I'm shutting down with a headache".............AA ... bit of a slow day fellas!

What do expect when you live in the back of beyond?

Now, if you moved to another, more lively part of the country, there would be lots for you to do.

Haha funny stories!

I haven't really killed any hardware from an accident, although when taking apart my loop to clean it I almost forgot to refill it before turning the pc back on...

Trying to insert RAM is also quite fun when you have it the wrong way around...

I managed to reproduce "Old Faithful" the geyser when I stuck my hand on the power button by accident with the fill port still open! ;D

For me not a PC or a computer home made with a 6800 Motorola / ACIA / PIA / 2k static with 2102 and UV ROM 2708  

But with a crystal radio in 1960  ( a long time ) similar to this :
