ZylonBane Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Retard roommate decided to burn the fireplace last night. Burn the fireplace? Like, the fireplace itself was on fire? WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignGuy81 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 This reminds me a long time ago I seen in a Nintendo Power magazine a Gameboy that was in a fire, partially melted, and still worked. I highly doubt there is any chance of that working though now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricortes Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 It was too hot to handle to give it a close inspection, could have been an XL. I will give it a closer examination when I get over the heart ache. I thought XE because that was closest to where she lurks. Could have been a 1200XL or even my preproduction Chelco 800XL that came with a 600XL OS. Stomped one of my Arduinos with a 320x240 touch screen and a 720k 3.5" drive. When I pointed out she not only knocked the Arduino off my work bench, she trod on it, she replied "No I didn't, you did!" Maybe Jazzycat can save it. I'll get some pictures of the chip silicon and determine which treasure it was tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SignGuy81 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Sounds like a lovely roommate. I would hope she at least looks good or some other justification to have to put up with that mess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1050 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I'm afraid words don't work well enough to explain people like that. Condolences. Even more angst you have this situation in your life. Best wishes for speedy resolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+kheller2 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 800XL with some sort of expansion board. U1MB? As for the roomate’s state of mind, it sounds very familiar. Words of advice: get the hell away as fast as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
