I have been actually thinking about putting something along these lines together. Mainly because I am sick of people calling a tower a "CPU". Have not seen it lately, but it does pop up once in awhile.

I've purchased lots of computers from gov't auctions over the last 8 or ten years, and CPU was very often their common term for a tower or desktop, I just let it go. I mean i was just dealing with people in the office there mostly, no techs etc

VRM= the sound my truck makes

I was drooling talking to another scrapper that told me he could get me a garage full of computers. The other day he told me he was pulling the yokes out of the computers??? HUH? I said "there's no yokes in computers", He says "sure there is, right behind the picture tube". Well, you know what that garage load of "computers" was??? Disappointment!
