Police Investigate the Murder Of A Computer

(13 July 1999)

A man in Issaquah, Washington was arrested this week for shooting his personal computer. According to an AP wire report, police talked the man into coming out after a short stand-off. They found his PC with four bullet holes in the hard drive and one in the monitor... well, it's quicker than calling tech support...

I think I can understand how he felt. Also found this:

Woman Fatally Mistaken For Racoon

(16 July 1999)

"I snapped or something," said Orval Loyd of Dallas, TX, explaining to police why he had mistaken his mother-in-law for a large raccoon and hacked her to death... hey, anybody can make a mistake...

hmmm . . . wonder if either of those guys could claim under the warranty. No, maybe not . . . http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

DavidX ~ probably not, intentional misuse, most likely. Could claim it under vandalism, disaster in home insurance maybe? http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

The guy that shot his computer - now THERE'S a story we can all relate too!!!

Couldn't count how many times I was mad at it & had to leave before dong something rash! Guess he just stayed that little bit too long...

[KillerBug]

Now, if he had Linux, he have had the crashes drive him to insanity, filling his coputer with lead! As for the other, perhapse he should have spent less time on the porn sites, more time with the real thing, no matter how much of a beast his wife was!!!!
