Apple needs to send this guy an iMac! -Aaron Meyer Zionsville, IN http://www.wisinfo.com/postcrescent/news/archive/local_3204626.shtml Crashed computer boots local man into jail Owner takes out frustration with a sledgehammer By John Lee Post-Crescent staff writer GRAND CHUTE ‹ Since January, Gary Wilke has felt more than a little frustrated with his daughter¹s $2,600 computer. He took it back to the store he purchased it from ‹ five times. There¹s been a new hard drive installed, a four-hour home visit from a computer technician and problems such as no sound and the inability to ³burn² CDs, said Wilke, N512 Sonny Court, Appleton. The computer still wouldn¹t boot up when he got it home from the shop Friday. When he went back Monday, he took the machine and told the staff he would take care of it. He put the computer processing unit in the foyer of the store, went to his car, got what witnesses described as a ³large sledgehammer² and pummeled it. Wilke denies reports from a store employee that he used profanity. ³I didn¹t want to cause any trouble,² he said. ³I wasn¹t there to harm anybody. ³I said, ŒHave a good day,¹ and I left.² Later, he was arrested at his home by Outagamie County deputies, and turned over to Grand Chute police. They jailed him, and he was released later Monday after posting a $150 bond for disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor charge. Kasey Marx, the manager of Gateway Country, 728 N. Casaloma Drive, where the incident occurred, declined comment. ³I don¹t really want to make a big deal out of it,² he said. Wilke, 51, knows soon he will receive the formal summons in the mail, and get his day in court. He said he didn¹t do it for anybody but himself. ³But I wonder how many people are out there complaining and not getting service,² he said. ³It feels good in a way.² grogiefrog <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- *9/11/2001* We will never forget - http://www.windowscene.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------- For subscribing, unsubscribing or changing to a digest or individual version, visit <http://www.MacEvangeList.com/groups/> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Send all submissions to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
