Most expensive thing you ever broke?

[Barman58]

I did once "almost" break a multi million Pound Steel Mill

but I found the bug in my software with about a minute to spare before the safety systems shut everything down

Phew!!! that was a close one

I will admit to a few things being returned to the manufacturer as "Faulty on receipt" which probably had more to do with my playing than any manufacturing defect

My friend does that with stuff. He bought a laptop and it wasn't working fast enough for him so he just punched it and put a huge dent in the casing. He tried to return it, but they just fixed it instead.

This is the same friend who bought a $4000 alienware computer, then complained because it didn't work well and never used it.
He wants a Mac now, but doesn't have the money. Lol.

He can donate it to me (the alienware) I'm so poor I cannot even afford a new USB!

Haha.

He sold it on eBay I think. Don't know for how much, but it was not $4000.

walmart parking lots are the best for such activities

in my town we have a huge parking lot for our only mall. It's usually really empty.

I toasted some RAM a couple times.

Yeah.. I killed my RAM on a desktop I had a while back. Bought a 1GB, swapped the stickers, returned the old 512mb in its place. Free upgrades ftw!

Thanks by the way.

Probably not the most honest thing to do, or admit to.

Well, cannot say I'm not honest about what I do/say.

Whether you think its not the honest thing to do or not does not really effect me. I wouldn't have done it if I didn't NEED to. The PC was not functional on Vista with 512MB RAM by itself, I needed another stick but didn't have the cash.

When IBM first came out with the P4 and LPAR's were new, and the HMC was a glorified PC, the systems would allow upgrading the microcode with the wrong microcode........

Its safe to assume, that.. that was a bad thing. Yes?

I saw my best friend back his father's 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California into a ravine. Does that count?

It depends. Did you buy the beer?

If you just stood there and let him do it without a word, that counts; you may even be the winner.
