    Pretty sad.

    Guess if it was a rodent instead of a bug that brought down that early computer, our computer lexicon would've been different.

    I got a snake man.

    One time I fed it some beer, it was slithering this way and that.

    the problem with this is that Im not sure there is enough juice running thru that computer to fry a rat.

    the computer's power supply doesnt provide more than 12v output...and in most cases...it is only 5 volts.

    I dont know if this is even possible...but as in most cases...I could be wrong.

    What if there was a power surge?
    If I found a fried mouse in my wkstn, I'd throw the whole unit in the trash.

    I remeber one of the Micron or intel or some other semiconducter guys came to us and say that perhaps the biggest problem with newer faster computers is that the processors will approach the heat of the sun.

    Don't believe me? Try this expensive experiment, open your computer, take out the heat sink from your processor, and put your finger on the chip. Start your computer and see how hot it gets in a few secs.



    Edit: when i say newer and faster I'm talking about 10 or so years down the line at the current pace for increasing heat in the comp.
    You will fry your procssor and probably your board so i don't really recommend doing this ;)

    I never said a word about heat....Im more than aware of the heat making capacities of processors..

    the carbon scoring on the back of the machine would insinuate that it was fried from electricity.

    of which a normal machine does not putout enough to do that...

    your power supply has 3 different power levels that it outputs into the computer....12V, 5V, -5V

    hence...not enough juice to fry anything that migt have shorted across a circuit.

    That's a strange set of photos. But I have to agree with R2K, I don't think there is enough juice being pushed through the system to actually fry something, especially a rodent like that.

    U of Alabama had a problem with squirrels getting into transformers, electrocuting themselves and shutting out power to half the school. See why I named my college jam band "Suicide Squirrel?"
