Stupidest things I've done... I wanted to take a picture of the inside of my A1200 (with a 3.5" disk installed inside ontop of the shield), so I opened the top and let the keyboard stay plugged in and stil in the top cover so it looked like an open book so to say. Positioned myself in front of the machine with camera, repositioned myself and must have moved the rugg (computer was on the floor) cause the next thing the keyboard slided out of the holes in the topcover and landed on the harddrive witch started to make stupid sounds and never worked since.

Another stupid thing was not that long after. Satt in front of the computer (about a meter away) on a air mathress and playing a game while finnished of a beer. Being a bit woosy I jogelled with the bottle a bit and at first it was no problem... 2nd or 3rd time around i dropped the bottle... it bounced of the mathress and smached into the monitor... luckily it only took a small chip off the monitor glass but everytime I use that monitor I'm reminded of my stupidity. ;)

Not realy something I did but I borrowed my 1950 monitor to a friend. His A3000 had the scandoubler module on and installed a CVPPC also with scandoubling on sending out 4*15Khz to the monitor made to cope with max 35Khz. Needless to say it didn't end well for the monitor (sounded like a popcorn maker and all the "good blue smoke" left it). :(
