Off the AP newswire...



"LAFAYETTE, Colo. - George Doughty's computer will never crash again. It will never run again, either.



Doughty was jailed during the weekend on suspicion of shooting his Dell computer four times with a revolver earlier that day in the middle of the Sportsman's Inn Bar and Restaurant.



He then allegedly hung the destroyed laptop on the wall "like a hunting trophy," said Lt. Rick Bashor with the Lafayette Police Department.



Doughty, 48, owns the establishment. He entered the bar from his office, announced he was going to shoot his computer and returned to his office. After 30 minutes, police said, Doughty set his laptop on the floor 4 to 6 feet away from him, warned two customers at the bar to cover their ears and fired away. The computer took all the bullets. No one was injured.



Because Doughty is accused of putting the customers and bartender in danger, he was arrested on suspicion of felony menacing, reckless endangerment and the prohibited use of weapons."



...I have nothing to say, except thanks George.

    Damn it... it's a sad sad day when a man can't shoot a Dell... <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />



    Doughty's Dell: "Dude, you're getting a gun out. Dude, what are you doing with that? Dude, no... no Dude... Dude, why? DUDE, NOOOOOOOOoooooo!"



    MS Office's paper clip: "Look's like you're trying to do a spread sheet, write a letter to your mother instead. No, guns do not help people write letters to their mothers, put that away. Would you like to put a signature on your letter? Here, fill out your registra.." BAM!! BAM! BAM!! BAM!!!

    Heh. I remember a fella who smashed his Gateway PC to pieces with a sledgehammer...in front of the Gateway Store he had returned it to three times before...



    You don't see Apple users doing this...except for PeeCee users...I remember when the first iMacs came out some basement dwelling PeeCee user shot one up for a hard on... <img src="graemlins/cancer.gif" border="0" alt="[cancer]" />

    You can hunt down and shoot small furry animals, but you can't put a Dell out of (your) misery?



    It's a strange world, I say.

    Oh, I think you might have a different opinion of it if a deflected bullet took someone out.



    I don't disagree with the "execution"... but do it outside, ya moron. Sheesh.

    with how much those Dell laptops weigh, he probably couldn't carry it that far.

    Soooo....





    did the polycarbonite shell of the iMac stand up to those bullets?? I've always wondered if they were actually bullet-proof... (though its very sad to see someone actually test it )

    This is from another version of the article. I just love this excerpt.

    I wonder...could a TiBook stop a bullet because of the material from which it's made? <img src="graemlins/cancer.gif" border="0" alt="[cancer]" />

    I wonder what this Dell laptop could possibly have been doing that would cause that kind of frustration?
