Passthrough Obituary

Okay, so my computer is on the floor next to my desk. I was vacuuming because my parents are coming to visit today. I pulled the chair out from under the desk and before I knew it the vacuum had grabbed the cord of the passthrough! It proceeded to remove both ends of the cables from the USB plug and the "battery". It bent my atomizer and I think it ate the filling right out of the cart because I can't find it anywhere!

Saved the little blue battery and ordered a replacement from the Window (the source of the first one). I got my original 510 PT from her and it had been working like a champ until the vacuum cleaner killed it. 90% of what I've written here on the forum was with that passthrough at my side! I treated it nice. Bought it adapters so it could use 801's, 901's, or KR8's.

I've pulled my old 901 passthrough out of retirement but it's just not the same.

Thank goodness I never named it or this would be more than I could stand.

You want believe how many cords I have sucked up in my vaccum. You may want to check and see if it's wrapped around the tube in the vaccum. My old vaccum would not even suck up a cord but last year I bought an oreck and it will suck up anything. My husband leaves his lap top on the floor by his chair and I have been afraid I would suck this up.

Just don't vacuum the keyboard trust me it's not pretty site. I was over at my sisters and dropped a few ashes on my laptop keyboard so I grabbed the vacuum. The damn thing sucked 4 of my keys right off :( thankfully 3 of the keys survived but my backspace key was toast had to order a new one.
