] Why The Vacuum Tube?
]
] Before we go further, someone undoubtedly will ask,
] “Why the vacuum tube?” A quick answer would be: “The
] tube looks cool!” But the real answer does not stop
] here; there are more legends about the tube that wait
] to be unveiled.

From Wilpig:
] well computers just took a step backwards, thank you
] Aopen. The latest line of motherboards use vacuum
] tubes again.

This is very cool actually. Tubes do sound good. No bullshit! There is a reason why tube amps are still made..

Enraged Computer Owner Shoots Up Machine

The Associated Press
Wednesday, March 5, 2003; 3:53 PM

George Doughty hung his latest hunting trophy on the wall of his Sportsman's Bar and Restaurant. Then he went to jail.

The problem was the trophy was Doughty's laptop computer.

He shot it four times, as customers watched, after it crashed once too often.

He was jailed on suspicion of felony menacing, reckless endangerment and the prohibited use of weapons.

"It's sort of funny, because everybody always threatens their computers," said police Lt. Rick Bashor, seconds before his own police computer froze at police headquarters.

In police reports, Doughty said that he realized afterward that he shouldn't have shot his computer but at the time it seemed like the right thing to do.
