Paging the HTPC types

One tries. Or is trying..

It was bound to happen: it died last week. It wouldn't recognise any key
presses, wouldn't even light up the backlight when you press a key.

Because I got it as a gift, and I don't want to hassle the original
purchaser for the proof of purchase, Logitech support want me to provide
photographic evidence that I've put the keyboard in a "non-reusable
state". My first thought was "ooh, angle grinder!", but does anyone have
any better suggestions. Bear in mind that it'll still need to be
recognisably an ex-keyboard...

Just in case anyone's still considering buying one: it is possible to do
backslash and certain other characters which aren't marked on the
keyboard:

Angle grinder. Straight down the middle.

Assuming "recognisably two half ex-keyboards" will do.

 

Give it the Dali treatment. Sit it on an upturned saucepan in the oven
until it melts enough for the ends to start drooping down.

Oooh, creative. I like it.

 

Well, yes, but it just seems so... unoriginal.

My other thoughts were to use the biggest drill bit I can find to put a
very neat hole in the middle, or use a large hammer and take out some
pent-up aggression on it.

I would imagine so. I'm going to award myself marks for neatness.

 

Drill it through and fit a row of hooks to it.

Then screw it to a wall and hang your bike, car
and house keys from it.

Heh... "key board", very good.

Pity it's a mini-keyboard with a flap over the top, I don't think
there'd be room for many key rings.

 

I didn't realise that suggestions
had to be entirely functional too.
What was I thinking.

My apologies.

 

I'll let you off. Now don't do it again.

 

That's completely the wrong number of syllables for Haiku

 

Not necessarily. You can get lots of rings onto the flap if you pierce it.

 

The job of a poet
'tho he may not know it
is to pierce the veil
of convention so stale
thus broaden the mind, so stow it.


More of a limerick man myself.
Far closer to my intellectual level.

Yeah, I've seen pictures like that.

 

Mary had a little lamb
she hid it in a bucket
The reason that she hid it there
was so the ram can't make friends with it.

 

Mary had a little lamb
She also had a duck
She put them on the mantlepiece
To see if they would look good.

 

Point of order: those aren't limericks.
