Extreme: Anyone Knee’d a PowerBook?

A right of passage? Some call me an idiot when they see this but I’ve been called worse. I would say “passsionate” is a better word. One man takes his frustration out on an innocent PowerBook. Not for the weak of heart.

A reader sent in the following story about an extremely damaged PowerBook – the result of apparent anger management issues:

One-two over the knee.
And a slam to the floor makes PB no more.
I am a very busy kinda guy, with little tolerance for imperfection, and every once in a while the pressure valve just pops!
In any case, I had a fairly recent backup and thanks to .Mac syncing, I’m back up and running with a new MBP.
And to tell the truth my new machine is much nicer than my 1.33 PB.

Another, even worse picture after the jump…
