Funniest one here . . .
. . Trudy, a sometimes assistant back in the 486 days, was accustomed to seeing me finish assembly of PCs while they were running - so did the same on one. While putting mounting screws into a floppy drive she didn't notice the screwdriver passed very close to the contacts of the on-off switch.
KAPOW!! Blew a big notch in the screwdriver, the motherboard fried, the main chip on the video card exploded into fragments, the cpu chip burst and the monitor billowed smoke. Only the disk drives and memory survived.
Now this stuff was expensive back then, but I think the expression on Trudy's face was worth every penny as was future use of the phrase "It's been Trudyized".
