lame
Talk about feling lame.
So, I just pulled some apparently malfunctioning parts out of my computer and replaced them with apparently functioning ones. I use those apparentlies since, of course, the putatively dodgy parts, when examined under the friendly glow of a 50/50 incandescent light/CRT glow mixture, don't look any less healthy then the currently functioning ones. Ooooh, bigass run-on.
I get to thinking, "...gee, some parts must burn out in a more visually stimulating way on occasion. Otherwise it's a dull world indeed."
Naturally, ten seconds later I'm googling, looking for the inevitable online archive of images showing horribly burned and mangled PC parts, cleansed in the mighty fires of their own systems.
Fifteen minutes later, I'm still at it (yeah, how's *that* for attention span, Padre!), having found nothing.
Finally I give up. Now, maybe I was having a Bad Search Day (you know the ones...no matter what you type in, the first twenty-seven results are all things like "Lil' Jonny, the six-man polka band that does naught but Bon Jovi covers"), but it seems strange. I barely even came up with more than a handful of sites featuring sculptors who mangle and trash computer parts post crashem in the name of art. What gives? Does nobody else find dead PC parts interesting, or has the Net come alive and developed taboos about its own shed dead skin cells?
