You learn all kinds of crazy things taking a computer apart. My machine had been up for 64 days, but tonight I shut it down in anticipation of its big move downtown. Tilting it forward, I learned some things:
My floppy drive was not screwed in or connected to any cables.
I had a hard drive sitting on a static bag on top of the cdrom drive.
At one point I'm sure I knew both of those things. Tonight, though, they were all new to me.
