Make It Work by SNORLAX

February 5th, 2008 12:09 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Make it work.

I prefer to stay out of the nerd holy wars, but for my own uses, I usually choose macs. Unfortunately new Apple computers are too expensive, so I stay at least 5 years behind the technology curve.

Although Apple computers have many advantages, one problem I have with them is that they always have bizarrely shaped cases. Recently I came by a "clearance sale" for dvd burners. I decided to buy a couple to cheaply upgrade some old computers. Unfortunately, when I stuck the burner in my computer, the faceplate on the front prevented the tray from opening. I had to make it work.


I started by ripping off the tray cover on the faceplate of the computer. (for the computer nerds out there, no i couldn't take the faceplate off the tray itself)

I got a little carried away and started giving my computer speed holes

For a ferret perfectly used to drilling noises and for drilling in the most uncomfortable position for the sake of documentation.

Wow, votes for daring to modify a case with a drill, and for the attempt at a happy face! And I'm amazed that the ferret puts up with that noise, I don't think either me _or_ my cat could stand being in the room with that for long....

the ferret fears nothing, even a huge drop from my window

Maybe they wrote vote, but forgot to actually vote. I think it happens often. I simply vote and then don't mention it. I like the confusion to go the opposite way.

I always assumed that people who compliment your task but don't vote for it were either A. unspeakably fickle, B. making fun of you, C. got distracted by something shiney, or D. All of the above
