That's Right!

You have to show these devices who's boss.

The photos of phones that have been shot with a high-powered rifle are good for that too.

I prefer the videos from “Will It Blend?”

Scared straight doesn’t cover it.

LOL

Been working with computers since....oh, anybody heard of Illiac?

Right after I got my very first terminal, I brought a foot-long hunk of Louisville Slugger (jagged ends all sanded down) to work and set it under the desk.

Never, ever had to smite anything with it, but I’ve made a habit of taking it out from time to time, gently waving it around and engaging in a bit of telepathic counseling with the current occupant(s) of the desk.

All the phones and tablets get to come sit with me now and then as well.

....outside of losing one phone, having youngest g’daughter dump another “down the potty” and the odd motherboard/hard drive failure (two of each over the years) the only drama I’ve had with any of our devices was when Grandma saddled me with a Blackberry.

....called that thing some names I haven’t used since I made E-7, but it still rated as “Pristine” when I traded it at the end of the contract.
