I am sure we can all relate to this at some stage except this guy actually did it.

You'd get more than a ticket for doing that here!




I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.

That would be a great idea for a new business. Instead of offering to fix computers, shoot them! Hehe.

How long do you think it will be before Dell jumps in and gives him a new computer in some sort of publicity stunt?

I had a client who always threatened to throw his pc off the balcony.  Well a few months later he rings up wanting me to fix his computer and tells me you'll find it in the driveway  smile.  He'd tossed it alright. 

At least he did what he said he would.  I managed to get it all up and running again in a new case.
