Your Most Damage-Resistant Hardware?

questamor writes "After reading the recent Slashdot article linking to drivesavers and their list of damaged hardware that was still recoverable, I'm curious about the worst things slashdot readers have done to their hardware and still had it work. So far I've been lucky, and in more than a decade of owning computers I've hotplugged almost everything except a CPU (sometimes accidentally, sometimes through laziness) and never knowingly broken anything. What have you all done to your machines? I imagine there are many stories of dropped, drowned, stolen and generally abused machines still working and doing their thing; or at least, able to be brought back to a working state"

Had a similar problem...

Except that it was the 'f' key, and also the star (*). Strangely enough, the u, the c, the k, the spacebar, the y, the o and the u were still working...

Yeah, but then, why was my Y key still working? (this would allow me to reply yes to rm -r /) And the H key was still working too! And the B as well. And did I already say: unlike for the other guy's laptop, on mine the T was still fully functional!

Have a nice day!
