The inside of a smoker's computer vs a non-smoker's computer
If this is what the inside of a smoker's PC looks like...imagine what it looks like inside their body? I have experienced this shit first hand...it absolutely stinks. It's mostly tar mixed with a bit of general dust.
"FYI", this is what a standard dusty PC looks like in comparison...As it's just dead skin cells, hairs and general fluff, it's just grey rather than a rusty brown colour:
Reason I mention it, is because Apple are saying that smoking near your PC can void your warranty, because it makes such a mess on the inside and it's described as a "biohazard". It can easily damage the circuit boards and clog up the fans.

Pioneer had/have a clause in the warranties saying the same, we used to have this one customer who smoked by his computer 24/7, would always come back saying how shit the Pioneer drives were and we'd send them back to Pio who'd reject them due to smoke damage, he just couldn't understand that smoking near pretty much anything would shorten it's life, this was back in the days when DVD Writers were £1000+
I am very sorry if you find my posts long and boring, I like to type and often go off on a tangent.

I am actually having a cig right now in front of this computer. Not mine though, friend's. He allows smoking inside, I don't like it too much as the smell is not nice but it is freakin' cold out there.
Square numbers are just like women, if they're under 13 just do them in your head.

I was, but after what I've been through lately, I couldn't resist the nice, relaxing, expensive smokestick.
And having my lifespan shortened by a lot. Ah well, I will die the moment I get my driving licence (next summer) anyway, because Ian knows how I drive a car: Sideways and fast. Sometimes it tends to go wrong, especially if the car ahead has number 74 on its numberplate...
By the way, I am considering of purchasing this beaty:

Nice Toyota Starlet, thinking of replacing the suspension and fixing the engine up a bit, maybe putting a 2.0 turbocharged VW Audi engine there... http://www.nettivaraosa.com/viewPart.php?id_part=887442
What do you think, should I go for it?
P.S. mods can move the latter part of the post to appropiate section, got bit carried away, this is maybe not computer related...

Get that Starlet, and put a 4-age in her
I've got one in my Corolla GT, which is a couple hundred kg's heavier. It's great fun.
