IBM Laptop with very funny Serial - Potentially offending thread

**Gabriel** · May 29th, 2006, 02:12 AM

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.

Laugh on,

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,
Gabriel

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...

At the risk of getting into socio-political areas which is not what this site is about... here is some information about one of San Francisco's major events http://www.sfpride.org/

Gabriel as NooNoo pointed out"socio-political"I thought that was the

original"light hearted "approach to the post.So my response was too

only intended as light hearted.Perhaps this is yet another of the grey

areas that make communicating touchy in our modern world.

At least a picture is still worth a thousand words.
