We had a customer bring in a system several YEARS ago with CD drive
that would not open.
With the aid of a paperclip and a prybar, I opened up the drive to fine a
shattered CD inside. I took one look at it and asked what had happened
in shock, it was shattered in a hundred pieces.
The red faced customer sputtered something about cooling the disk so the game
would load faster ???? I cut him off short when I pointed at the remains of the
shattered game disk still sitting in drive, now most likely a cupholder, with a
comment about the destruction he caused.
His wanted to know if he could get a replacement CD or did he have to purchase
a new one.... The thrills of dealing with Brain Dead Users.
This could have been Darwin Award, he used LOX, because he did not have
access to nitrogen. I asked why not CO2, he replied it was not cold enough to
work, he had hoped LOX was cold enough .....
It takes all kinds ....
