From the "What the heck is that??" Dept.

Tech

Over the years, I have worked on countless computers.

Occasionally, I will open a computer and find a little something extra. I am not talking about upgrades exactly and I am not referring to performance or cosmetic modifications. Nope. Stange and seemingly inexplicable things I have discovered thoughout my career as a techno-geek. Not quite paranormal perhaps. I mean I have not discovered a ghost in the machine as it were (though many computer owners insist that there is some kind of gremlin or such thing in there), but here, for your amusement is a short list of things that I, Marc Everlove, have found in people's computers...

  • Dust bunnies aplenty. Though in some cases the are more horse than bunny size..
  • Action figures, including but not limited to: Godzilla, Luke Skywalker, and Darth Vader
  • A small rubber snake
  • One dead mouse
  • A asthma inhaler
  • One lipgloss (Childrens)
  • Money (coins and bills)
  • A small amount marijauna stashed
  • Funguslike dark black substance. (Not sure, but it looked pretty sinistar and sounded like it was whispering "Come Closer")
  • Bottlecap (Miller)
  • Sandwich crust
  • Barbie head (doll)
  • Assorted candies Mystery foul smelling substance
  •  Other ...

One has to wonder how these objects came to reside inside of computers that were for all appearances "Sealed tightly". Perhaps it is best left a mystery.

Good Luck, and e-mail me to have your question answered!

Whether you like, or dislike technology, it is here to stay. It is up to you to lead, follow or get out of the way. If you are ready, but don't know where to begin, stay tuned, I will keep the info coming as time permits. If you are the motivated type, feel free to send me a message, either comment here, or shoot an email.

Good luck, God bless and keep the powder dry.

Wow that is funny. And here I stopped in thinking it was going to be a blog about not knowing which brand of microchips you are actually getting. With those fraud chips being sold to the military I thought this might be along those lines, but this is much funnier. Good post.

On more than one occasion, I've opened up a PC to find floppies and CDs (pushed into the gap between the drive and a empty bay cover).

It is amusing sometimes...

 I had a client that brought a machine to me that had rust & water damage 3 inches high... On the mainboard there was a clear "water-line"...

The client could not understand why it wasn't working. "My basement flooded, but it was off at the time, so it should work right?"
