Oh man, don't do that to a Plasma display.

Heh, I had a co-worker try to convince me it would. Just press on it, you can see the gel move around! heh

doesn't surprise me. I worked for my University's Help Desk while I was taking classes, and the guy that ran the labs came by to ask for some help one day. He had a bunch of old computers from which he wanted to scavenge enough parts to make a few working machines. My supervisor looked at him and said "You've got your own work/study students. why are you asking these guys?"

He looked at her, and said she was right, but that they were all CS majors. They knew how to *write* a program, but didn't know jack about the computers they were using to do the coding :p
