I DESTROYED AN ELECTRONIC ORGANIZER
About 1998, I went to Wal-Mart and purchased a Royal Electronic
Organizer for about $30 or $40. It wasn't real fancy, except for the data port on the side which would interface with a PC and transfer data to and from. I never sent away for the 1/8 to RS-232 cable and software because I didn't own a PC at the time and when I did purchase my next PC it would have been useless. Well, I used the Royal for a few years until I got a cell fone which did pretty much the same thing as the Royal did but it wasn't a bulky, had a rechargeable battery, and I could make calls and send texts with the damn thing. So, into a desk drawer the Royal went. Fast forward to May 12, 2013 and I am cleaning out my desk drawer and stumble upon said Royal. Turned it on, and surprisingly, it came on but the display was really dull because the batteries were never replaced. Also, there were lines of dead pixels and it was asking for a long forgotten PIN number. First thought across my mind was keeping it around as a relic or putting it up on Ebay and maybe some hipster could give me $80 dollars for it. Since was in ****ty condition and I have a Casio organizer that is of even earlier vintage, I decided that there was no point in keeping device around. I took it to the kitchen and threw it on the tile floor and after a loud crash the cover unhinged and the battery cover became airborne and there were three button batteries on the ground with some screws and metal tabs. I took it to the bathroom and threw it on the tile floor in the bathroom and after another loud bang it broke in half. After that, I took it to the bedroom where I propped it up, hit it with a hammer, and the bottom half of the unit, the top half of the unit and the LCD display all went their separate ways. At this point the Royal was finished but I decided to hit it again with the hammer just for the hell of it. |

Yeah, though I used a screw drive to take it apart, I decided to disassemble an old non-working Nikon https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...89217285_o.jpg -- https://www.createspace.com/3707686 |
