Dear,

It is possible, that this weekend becomes again a slow weekend.
Our suggestion is "what can I do with mine computer and in which way can I loose mine data"

A list of possible situations:
  • Laptop shot in anger
  • PC thrown out the window to destroy evidence before police arrived
  • Laptop fell off a moped and was run over by lorry
  • Laptop dropped in bath while doing company accounts
  • Stolen PCs rescued after three weeks in a river
  • Red wine spilt on laptop over dinner
  • Server rescued after running unchecked 24/7 for years under layers of dust and dirt
  • Computer thrown against a wall
  • Latte-covered laptop rescued
  • Laptop left on car roof as owner drives off
greetings.
btw: based on article BCC - Odd mishaps cause computer grief

And then there's the story of the Netware server at a University that was completely walled in.
