learn new things every day

Posted Wednesday, May 12, 2004, at 02:36AM by Eric Richardson

You learn all kinds of crazy things taking a computer apart. My machine had been up for 64 days, but tonight I shut it down in anticipation of its big move downtown. Tilting it forward, I learned some things:

  • My floppy drive was not screwed in or connected to any cables.

  • I had a hard drive sitting on a static bag on top of the cdrom drive.

At one point I'm sure I knew both of those things. Tonight, though, they were all new to me.
