Guns or Computers rule the World?

In all my years in this business I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to just blast a problematic piece of garbage into the ether!!!!

It's still good! Just needs a little TLC.

I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to do that.

+1.

Looks like it's time for an upgrade.
Would be fun to take that to geek squad and play all "I dunno why it won't boot".

Well, if ever a horde of lawless computers pulls a home invasion at your place, you know you're ready.

What brand of laptop is (I mean WAS) that? lol

I just threw out an old HP that was about 5 years old after I destroyed the hard drive. Talk about a piece of junk! First the motherboard, then the battery........

I should've given it the firing squad treatment.

Several years ago I saw someone tape his cell phone to a target on a target frame. As he was blasting away at it he was shouting, "Free at Last! Free at Last! Thank God Almighty I'm Free at Last!"

No joke.
