I am sad to say, that I have seen stuff like that all too often during my career.

I sold computers for almost a year, back in '95 and I feel for that guy. I had a nervous breakdown doing that job. In fact, to this day, I have an unlisted number to keep freaks calling me up with idiocy like "You sold my friend a computer last week but I have a macintosh and I wonder if you could give me some help"

The very worst was the OS/2 WARP! crowd, which I equate to the linux people of today. They were loyal but fanatical. The OS was hard to use, with little or few drivers, but the ones that could tough it out and survive thought they were king ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.

Wow, I'd be too embarrassed to take it in if I'd pulled a smooth move like those.

There used to be one on that site involving a roach getting into the PSU. For some reason, its gone.

Or put a new drive in there and tried to scam you into installing and configuring windows for him...

The credit card picture is priceless. Did someone actually think that they could put their credit card in to buy something? And then when the first one didn't work they put in another one!

I'm on my tenth credit card this month.

It'll work eventually.

I'm hoping against hope that some of these pictures are of computers that have been abused by children. The credit card thing in particular. If any adult did that, they should have all their assets frozen and then donated to charity.
