[Guest Post] Texas Tech Support

    [ I am pleased to present the first post in the series of guest posts that will run for the next couple of weeks. This post was written by Aaron Spuler. Aaron also wrote the Kel-Tec PF-9 Review guest post. ]

    This was an old IBM T41 (15″ screen) that my brother had. It started having blue screen errors and then whenever it connected to the internet, it immediately shut down (sort of like if it didn’t have a battery and the power cord was yanked out of the wall). So a friend and I decided to ‘fix’ it on Saturday. We used a combination of 22LR, 380ACP, 9mm, and 45ACP pistols. The range to the target was 45 feet. Yeehaw.

    I put three rounds of 380ACP through the screen at 45 feet…
    If you look closely at the top left and top right corners, you can still see the Windows desktop…
    We then took out the battery and really started to pound on it…
    Then we laid it on its back and took some shots at the bottom…
    A view of the back of the screen…
    We threw some 22LR into the mix…
    At the end of the two hour shooting session…
    No wonder it would shut off when connecting to the internet — it had a faulty network card…
    The mouse touchpad doesn’t seem like it will be working again anytime soon…
    Good luck typing anything on this keyboard…
    A close-up of the bottom…
    And one of the top…
