From Colorado; (http://thesmokinggun.com/buster/colorado/colorado-computer-killer-786520)
QuoteA Colorado man who has been "fighting with his computer for the last several months" unloaded a volley of shots into his Dell tormentor, resulting in the death of the computer and him being cited for discharging a firearm, cops report.
According to the Colorado Springs Police Department, officers responding last night to a 911 call about shots fired discovered that a "fed up" Lucas Hinch took his computer into a back alley and "fired 8 shots into the computer with a handgun, effectively disabling it."
Hinch, 38, was cited for discharging a firearm within city limits, according to a police blotter entry that includes the summary description "Man Kills His Computer."
When asked about the shooting, Hinch told TSG, "I just had it," adding that he tired of the balky computer's "blue screen of death." Hinch said that he whacked the computer with a 9mm Hi-Point pistol recently purchased from a Craigslist seller. The gun was seized by police, who left the computer behind.
He couldn't just go and buy a new computer? Though which Dell owner
hasn't thought of doing this at least once to their computer?
I nearly did that trying to install a printer a few weeks after Vista came out. Downloading drivers from Canon's 5 bits/second server :hatred:
