Itchy Hands and a Heavy Paperweight

Do you know about the story of a pair of itchy hands and a heavy paperweight?

This was years ago when a boy was excited with the invention called “the computer”. You see that it was not always a big electronic device is accessible to him; on one fine day, the floppy disk drive did not work properly, and as any boys with big toys, there he goes with a screwdriver and a curiosity much danger then a cat.

It took him minutes to bring out the drive, but hours went by without him figuring out what went wrong with it. Pressured, he finally snapped and out flew the screwdriver off his hand, landed exactly on the device’s electronic surface. A small spark, some smoke followed by a burnt smell was the perfect receipe for the conversion of the device to a heavy paperweight.

Fast forward to the present time, and that boy is now working in a big company, with a laptop given to him. Nature dictates that boys will always be boys, and just as recently as today, that boy almost converted that laptop into another expensive paperweight. All because he toyed around with the command “msconfig” without much thinking.

Thanks to the heavens above however, he did not ran out of patience and successfully fixed the problem. Boys will always be boys.
