Subj : Hate computers To : All From : Tiny Date : Thu Jan 23 2025 17:42:59 On my way home from work today I picked up a "bundle" from a computer store which had a CPU, MB and RAM in it. I asked the kid "Do I need anything else?" he said Nope. Came home ripped apart the case, removed the video card, the MB etc. Install the new CPU what's missing? No thermal paste or a CPU fan. I haven't upgraded this computer in 17 years.... I assumed the giant box the CPU came in would have the CPU fan in it. Sigh. Besides none of the parts look like they belong in a desktop so I'm just gonna give it all to my kid let her upgrade her computer and I'll throw my HDD's in the lake. I now embrace the throw away lifestyle. Buy cheap use it a year throw it in the lake and buy a new one. .... I'm not tense, just terribly alert! --- timEd 1.10.y2k+ * Origin: Dirty ole' Town (618:618/12) .
