They were right -- at least in this case. A Wisconsin man, soured by his lemony computer, took it back to the store, brandished a sledgehammer, and smashed the PC to pieces. He looked at the other customers, wished them "good day," walked over the computerized carcass and out the door. The sledgehammer, which worked like a charm, was not injured. Why was this PC such a smash hit? The man said he had taken it back to the store five times to be fixed, but the thing still didn't work right. His computer catharsis may have given him some satisfaction, but it also got him a voided warranty and a disorderly conduct charge.
