What personel experiences/injurys have you got when working with a machine





last night i had a cd shot at me that broke in the drive  :?  S*** myself



also had a brave few power supplies blow up ---  ones that give the big blue spark wreck your nerves for atleast a few days



got sliced by sharp edges in drive bays



nipped the palm of my hand on a case when closing it



droped one on my toe ( which hurt more  than the rest i think)



and never ending amount of electric shocks  8)

Computers have generally been very good to me :)



All I can think of is when I had a CD-ROM drive that had an erratic disc caddy.  It used to try to nip your fingers while you tried to put a disc into it by closing on you unexpectedly.

I hate pulling me hand out of a computer and finding i'm bleeding somehow!!! It's only cheap nasty cases normally.



Power supply blowing scares the crap out of me every time. BANG!!   :shock:

Had all the usual sliced fingers, nipped palms, a few (minor) electric shocks. Nothing too dramatic  :( . Had a slide projector nearly go on fire on me once, it was lying in a box for years and i was asked to "Test it" to see if it still worked. Think the transformer in it was knackered.
