Trashed laptops: When bad things happen to (mostly) good PCs
We scoured the Web to find true tales of splintered, shattered, and smashed laptops.
Office Revenge
"The laptop in question met its demise during a routine cull of office equipment," writes Henry Cooke of London, England. "This particular little beast had been the bane of our collective existence, however, so when its time came we used slightly more than the necessary amount of force in propelling it to the skip [or dumpster, for anyone not fluent in British English] four floors down." Tony Soprano would be proud.
