Ethanol ate my computer!
The Ethanol Computer Disaster
"It started so simply" Young said. "I'd only been swabbing the dirty mouse rollers. But, after a while, I was pouring cleaning ethanol on the entire mother board." Young, 32, of New York State, had been using the otherwise innocuous ethanol to clean his keyboard. Ethanol, also known as Demon Rum, developed a life of its own. Only a few short days later, Young found himself powerless. Hundreds of cotton swabs later, Young had graduated from the gateway computer cleaner 70% witch hazel to E-85. Sneaking into gas stations in cover of darkness to fill cleaning fluid containers. Wiping out his bank account, and maxxing up his credit cards. Cotton swabs had graduated to cotton balls, and later to gauze squares. Now, committed by the courts to mandated inpatient treatment. No longer available to get the 4 x 4 gauze squares he craves, and the ethanol that he'd been using to clean his computer. Scientists say that ethanol can soften mother boards, and loosen the traces. With traces loose, the processor shorted out, and the computer released the little white smoke. Family has stepped in, to try and find him a new computer. -- Christopher A. Young Don't let your children grow up like me I need a new mother board for my computer Support the charitable foundation to outlaw ethanol fuel! .. |
