I think i have a couple sub PIII computers in storage. I'd have to check though, and im 25 miles away, so it would have to happen next time im in town... But on a more interesting topic (to me atleast) Whats the worst hardware mIsuSe you heard of? some examples: using old dead hard drives to fill pot holes. forcing the door closed on a 5 1/4 inch floppy disk drive with a CD-ROM stuck inside. Unplugging IDE hard disk power cables while the computer is running! == $500 (circa 1994) Being a computer consultant and getting 10% commission on $500 ($50) == Sweet! Being an electrical engineer and repeatedly forgetting this == Priceless.
