I’m looking for a website that shows a computer on the screen. When you click on it, various parts of the PC are smashed (I think at the very end only a few sparking circuits are left). This might’ve been a Weird Earl site, but I didn’t see it in the archives.
Does anyone have a link to this site, or a similar one? Little Wallet has been begging to “smash up the computer” again, and I’d rather he didn’t try to do it the old fashioned way!
Thanks in advance.
I used to read The Straight Dope when you guys were on AOL - I remember when the plug was about to be pulled, and some members suggested “invading” another message group on AOL so it could continue. Cooler heads prevailed, and thus came the Straight Dope as we know it today.
I’ve learned so much from everyone here over the years. I never considered myself smart enough to do much posting, but please consider this a belated thank you to everyone who has broadened my mind over the years.
When I first read the topic, I at first thought that you were looking for help in smashing a actual PC. This then reminded me of something that I saw at a local repair shop that dealt in used computers. There in the front window sat a very flattened PC case. And next to the case a picture showing it being crushed … by a tank! They arranged for a local national guard unit to run over the case with a appropriate picture being taken at the time. No caption needed.
I saw a computer being smashed, quite unintentionally but quite thoroughly, one day in the DC Metro – a guy had a computer on a luggage cart and tried to take it down the escalator at the Wheaton Metro station, which happens to have the longest escalator in the western hemisphere. I was just getting on the top of the escalator when I heard the most appalling noise – crash, bang, smash, crunch – and it went on and on and on and on. Turns out that about halfway down, the computer fell off the cart and, by the time it arrived at the bottom 150+ feet later, the largest piece anyone could find to retrieve was less than 6 inches in diameter. :eek: :eek: :eek:
To this day I’m still trying to figure out why that :wally was taking the computer down the escalator instead of the elevator. But it was fun watching everyone stop and pick up a shred or two and hand it to him!
