Don't think so.  They're getting both of their computers replaced anyway.  If any of the stuff works and doesn't smell like soot then I guess it's fair game.

Hell, even if it DOES smell like soot, but still works, who am I to complain about a free CD burner?  Even *I* am not that big of an asshole.... ;)

Some compressed air and some Fantastic (for external purposes only) might be able to fix some of those stink problems. The compressed air would be good for the inside. I suppose you could always open it up and clean it some more if you're really concerned about soot and whatnot.

[/i]Hey... I just so happen to have an unopened car air freshener that might do the trick... Revka was even with me when I bought them.

Good suggestion.  ;)

Wow... I can't imagine a computer that would smell better (or worse now that I think about it).

The one in my car has toned down quite a bit, though I do have to say... it was pretty damned overpowering for a couple of days or so.  Now it smells just fine, however.

Yeah, but the inside of a computer tower is a lot smaller than a car... so therefore the scent would be more concentrated.

Laughter for all
« Reply #33 on: August 08, 2002, 09:23:46 PM »
OK, get ready to laugh. I've got an old packard bell, pentium (that's right, none of those fancy roman numerals on this baby  :) ) 120 mhz, 16 mb ram, 1.2 gig hardrive, No idea what kind of video card, windows 95, 15 inch monitor, factory mouse (still) and the most expensive thing on it is a crappy microsoft internet keyboard that I purchased resently after destroying my old one in a fit of rage  :twisted: . Yes it sucks beyond comprehension, but it's like a part of the family.

That's suprising. I had an old pentium 133 lying around and I put Windows 95 on it and it really could not handle viewing any web page.

Then again, it did only have 32 megs of ram. Or maybe it was 64. I don't quite remember, but I do know that it simply could not handle viewing web pages.

Weird, mine can run flash, java, and occaisonly things like shockwave. ONLY 32 megs of ram and it couldn't handle web pages? Very very odd. Hell, I've still got dial-up and a real shitty modem, and it loads just fine.

If I had my comp right in front of me (using office comp that sucks ass), and if that computer of mine was HALF DECENT, I'd post a setup.

*Sigh*

Feel free to complain about my repeated sighing. I leave one every second post. Count them, unless you're busy with life.

Just my luck...

Nah, I got a crappy setup, generic card.  4 speakers is the only good part lol, bad speakers too.  I can get 6, but too many wires.
