Slightly ammusing thing at work today.

A system got dropped off at the shop today and I noticed I carried the front case sticker of the place I used to work at. I turned it around and sure enough there on the serial number sticker was my initials. According to the serial number, it was the 1934 th system I had built there, back in 2001.

It must have been some kind of user created problem...I know you would never build a system that could break. Lol. That is pretty funny. You built a lot of systems, 1934, thats a lot.

That was the 1934th system he built, the system was built back in 2001.

2 years ago, so the number of PCs hes built has since grown exponentially.

that's gotta be freaky......just don't tell your boss that people are bringing in computers that you built!

CamH · Oct 6, 2003

Has to be a user error.

Right?

Wow, that's kinda karmic, ain't it?

Nothing wrong with a little job creation

That's job security right there.

the question is did the person to brought that computer in know you are the person who built it?

that is kind of funny though, it would be cool to see a computer a couple years after i built it getting serviced (that would mean the customer was, and still is, happy with it

)

Maxvla · Oct 9, 2003

if they are getting it serviced they are probably NOT happy with it

Could be getting upgraded.

Actually the HDD is dying, so I've sent it back under warranty (for the drive). Apparently the client hasn't had a single problem with the machine up until now. Which is kinda funny since it was running Win98SE. Used every day, never been re-installed, etc... I felt kinda bad that I couldn't clone the contents of the drive, so that when the replacement gets in, I would just clone it on the replacement and she could continue as though nothing ever happened. She's been really good about making backups regularly, which is something I wish more of our clients would do.

Now, time to set her up folding in the back ground!
