Sure, it's amusing when it's a 286 being pipe-bombed, but probably not
so much fun (for me, anyway) when they get their hands on an Amiga or a Sol.
It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye...

My employer had a VAX 6000-530 which someone proposed selling sledgehammer
whacks at in the parking lot. The money was to go to charity but the idea
still stank.
Fortunately the machine was decommissioned during a November, when parking
lots are not hospitable places in Wisconsin, and space was needed urgently
in our data center so I was able to give this machine away to a list
member before the idea went any farther.
