So do we. Several places that just do computers and electronics, like TV's. One place will even wipe your hard drive and give you a certificate of destruction. I dont trust that though. When I get rid of a customer's old computers I pull the drives out, put on some goggles, and vent some frustration with a big :censored:ing hammer! :)

All you need is a powerful magnet! Though that wouldn't be as.....therapeutic. :laugh: I donate my old puters but yank out the hard drives. :?:

House and she is probably watching it!

Well, thats a good reason. :) How many episodes are left?

I couldn't PAY Sears to carry away the old one. They told me they had nowhere to throw it, but that was a few years ago.

Ralph, I GAVE my old one to a TV repair shop. They get to fix it and resale and I had them pick it up for free. It was huge.

I am going to think of a creative way to get rid of it. I will take pics if it is worthy. :laugh:

In my previous life, aka working days, I had a laptop that was so slow...I nearly ripped it apart with my bare hands! Argh!!!

But I'm feeling much better now...:blink: :laugh:

Hi Fudgey. :wub::wub: How was your day dear?



Some of the big chains have really started to disappoint. Best buy... Staples. Staples really sucks, but dont get me started. :laugh:

Hiya Ralph :wub: I'm doing good. :)

That and the daughter came in right after I posted.......LOL

DH just takes things he wants to get rid of and chops it up into small pieces and takes it to the dump :facepalm:

Hiya Jag and Jan :):)

Now that has to be fun and a way to get rid of frustration, and a little extra exercise to boot. :lol:

I used to suggest that customers have an IT "appreciation" day once a year, and have all of the employees vent frustrations on printers that always jammed an other stuff that never quite worked right.... Then the world went green, and now that is frowned upon. :(

Its virtually impossbile to properly degauss a hard drive anymore. Degaussers work great for magnetic tape and floppies..... remember those? :lol: I pull the drives on boxes I donate also. But I go for the "shatter the platter" option with a 2 or 3 lb sledge.... I feel much better when it's done. :laugh:

Ralph, you've got to watch the movie Office Space!

Here's a printer scene, but the language is pretty strong...[Original] Office Space: The Printer Scene - YouTube

Hahahaha. I think I have seen that before. I think printer destruction works better with a real nasty "die mf 'er" rap going on in the background. Heck, could sell tickets at the company picnic for some of dat action. :laugh::laugh: Those guys should be wearing goggles though.... Gotta be safe. :D

I started a little software consulting shop, grew it from a one man op to 5 people ...got sick and left. It's still around but back to a one man shop now....so no income for me. :(

Now I think you do a little here and there on the side to bring some in. Live and enjoy a less stressful life. :)

That whole movie was great, especially for "software engineers". It's worth the $2 rental!! ;)

Now, I do nothing...just a bum...sigh...
