Recycling computers...

I've been stabbing at power on pins on slot one motherboards (thats OLD for non nerds) all night trying to build a couple rubbish boxes for my flatmates so I could split my hefty internet bill 4 ways to no avail.

I am ready to throw away these pieces of rubbish. but I had a thought.
8 motherboards, on fire, in a microwave. on video.

apart from *obvious safety concerns..... your thoughts?

*30 m extension cord, outside, lead cup. fire extinguisher. video camera.

a light bulb lights up when placed inside a microwave.....

I have a chest full of computer parts... an entire draw of motherboards, another draw of hard drives...

...maybe we could do a deal?

Are the bits that clip into the slots on a motherboard called fatherboards? And if not, why not?

If you are a sick Upper Hutt lad you may know that you can catch live horseflies and put a pin though them (they dont die!) then you can put them In a microwave and turn it on to see what happens!

That is sick and cruel tho and should never be done.

Flies have rights too, and we shouldn't forget them ljust coz they ain't fluffly and cure like young lambs.
