We had a guy at the AA who was so fed up with his malfunctioning stinkpad, he "accidently" drove over it!

One user put his hard drive in a freezer, after reading on the internet that this can fix malfunctioning hardware

When I was working for DSSD at farnborough, our building was being cleared out as it was part of the old site.
My colleague and I were kinda forgotten though and ended up with the whole place to ourselves (we had to kick a few doors down to fully explore :D )
We were told to destroy any old computers we found so proceeded to see how high we could lodge them into the partition walls
Wish I'd taken pics of all these PC's sticking out!

When I worked for British Rail years ago, they were in the process of moving the servers to another room. The removal men seemed to be having a competition to show who could throw the servers into the lift from the furthest distance...

I don't know if any were destroyed, but a few were damaged.

eeegads another "rage" type. first we had "road rage" then "air rage" now "computer rage".... what next?? "life rage"?????? all so atuned to the media it's sickening, these hacks coining phrases to become the next in-thing on Trisha or Jerry Springer.
on the note of the people smashing their pc to bits when it breaks down - are these the same ingrates who don't service their car and moan when it breaks down, or complains when the trains are late... fgs they are SERVICE i.e. they are doing YOU a favour by being there.
stop moaning and look after yourselves. it's a harsh world out there.
