    IBM Laptop with very funny Serial - Potentially offending thread

    Hi All,
    I usually don't look on a Serial number of a computer unless something is wrong.
    This computer was dead on arival (as I tested both HDD and memory) - SO I look on the bottom to see The serial in order to send it to the IBM lab.
    The serial showed me that this computer is really f%^&d up.




    -Moderator-
    If you think this might offend someone - Please remove this thread - I am doing it only as a joke.

    -Forum Members-
    Please accept this as a joke. though the picture is guniune.


    Laugh on,
    Gabriel

    a resize might be in order
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    IBM T43 model - I hate those computers... IBM really get on my nerves
    From 35 of them here (10 t43, 15 t30, and bunch r32 and X20) - 20 were in the lab at least once, and some more than twice.

    We don't have that Ratio - in our other laptop computers (Dell, Toshiba)

    Cheers,

    That's great - is that a pic you took personally, or just an online find?

    I took it personally, I know I shoud turn off the flash when shooting this close to an object...
    But this was so funny I could hardly think before doing something.

    I can't put it on Ebay because it is not my computer - it is one of the firms computers. not to say the computer is no longer here - IBM replaced it.

    I don't get why San fransisco shipment is needed...
