Using A Computer as Therapy

October 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

Latest quote from a client….

Every once in a while, for therapeutic reasons, we take an old computer we are going to throw out and bash it up with a baseball bat. You’ll have to try it sometime. The last time we completely replaced all of our boxes, we were looking forward to have about 15 boxes to demolish. Instead, however I thought they would be very impressive if we plugged them al in, stacked them on top of each other, and place them behind the smoked door of our server cage. It was really impressive when the boss would bring guests back to take a look at our server room and we had about 40 or 40 little flashing lights back there….doing nothing.

One time he came back and was complaining about something on a web page that wasn’t coming up properly – something we could have nothing to do with – so my web developer opened the cage, turned off and then on three or four of the boxes and told him to check it again and see if he had the same problem. It seemed to fix the problem.
