My first post here

Hey all, first post here ...



Had a tech from our store (computer repair shop) go out to repair a "stuck cd" in the drive.

he is unable to slide the drive out due to some obstruction, and so he has to take the drive out and take it apart to get the disk out.

this is what he sees.








in case you aren't familiar with what it is is.... here...



yep. its the black disk from the inside of a floppy.

when asked, she had never seen or used a floppy before and thought the outside of it was a protective packaging.

we have a feeling she was lying.




but that isnt what was preventing the drive from opening. it was the dried pieces of macaroni.

Yes, people are that dumb. My first job in Atlanta was working for a company that processed insurance claims for dental work. Our software came on 3.5" disks.

Yes...we had a customer actually remove the outer shell and try to put them in his CD ROM.

Sadly, this guy was a Dentist. :-o

There's dumb...and then there's DUMB...!!!

Let's not forget peanut butter sandwiches. You'd be amazed what they can be shoved in.
I remember in a class children's developmental stages being discussed. There actually is a stage where children instinctively learn about spatial things by trying to shove objects in other objects, around age two.
Yes, there is an evolutionary reason why your two year old did that to your computer.
btw, Love the icon.

I didn't know that, but it makes great sense.
