It's a box-shaped piece inside your case, with usually a big flat
cable coming out of it. If you have a 2nd rectangle with a fan
thingie, that's not it. The hard drive just sits there looking
inscrutable.

Beware the heavy metals when you get out your soldering iron.

Well, it begins this way - the computer was a dud to begin with. Had lots
of little annoying quirks. One of them was that it just might start and
probably would not. Way too many dollars was spent on that rascal. I'll
probably just open it, remove what looks like a hard drive and bash it.
What does a hard drive look like? Can I take all the other parts and weld
them into some sort of arty object? I guess I could create a door stop but
the doors stopped here years ago. Polly

"Taria" DS's significant other is a police woman. I don't know how well
she shoots
but I wouldn't think irritating her
would be a good plan. I bet she shoots pretty well but
am sure she shoots well enough.
Pretty bad when they won't even let you play along with
them. Shame on them. : (
I hope there is a full report coming on the computer destruction.
