Angry user excused for throwing computer out window laugh.gif

A German man who startled his neighbours when he hurled his computer out of the window in the middle of the night, was let off for disturbing the peace by police who sympathised with his technical frustrations.

Police in the northern city of Hanover said they would not press charges after responding to calls made by residents in an apartment block who were woken by a loud crash in the early hours.

Officers found the street and pavement covered in electronic parts and discovered who the culprit was.

Asked what had driven him to the night-time outburst, the 51-year-old man said he had simply got annoyed with his computer.

"Who hasn't felt like doing that?" said a police spokesman.

While escaping any official sanction the man was made to clear up the debris.

I can relate! My computer is frequently threatened with abuse (being tossed out the window a common one!) along with desperate pleas for its re-booting capabilities!

Dreams are important, otherwise sleep is just eight hours of nothing.

I call it an obstacle course. Some of the others call it MacGyverland.

Must have duct tape ... Lots of duct tape.

I know where that guy was coming from.

I so loathed my last Windows based PC that I lugged it up a hill and threw it over a cliff. Felt goooood!

(Of course, I then went down and collected as many pieces as I could find and disposed of them in a slightly more environmentally friendly manner).

He needs to purchase a Mac... with OSX installed. Far fewer crashes and conflicts - and heart attacks, and it loweres the blood pressure...

That which has been established will endure even with time and at a distance.

I can't tell you anything about what happens after the cameras go off, mostly because I'm usually unconscious by then.

Nice one, Rocky!

I'm really wishing someone would make a triple-boot (or triple operating system) computer with Windows, Mac, and Linux all in the same laptop. happy.gif
