Ouch... Expensive thing to mess up!
Oh and computer components don't bounce very well either. (And RAM is fairly aerodynamic!)
Knew the first one, it's kind of obvious and I've dropped my computer before. Not good. I was walking up a set of concrete stairs at work, carrying my computer, I misjudged the step. Luckily, I landed on my haid and mouse (which broke, so I kicked it out of anger!)
WTF were you doing with RAM to find that out?
Ram which is the easiest thing to install has always been a fucking pain for me, and been the hardest thing to remove put back.... end up needing to push it in hard, once broke the white plasticky tabs on the board, but with a big hard wham in, it stayed and worked... Usually I end up having to use quite a bit of force, unfortunately it takes me a good 30 mins of fiddling with my new stuff which cost money getting sweaty hands before resorting to the last resort...
Well basically I was checking 1 2GB strip of DDR for errors and I ended up doing the comic fumble where you drop it, catch it, and drop it again, much like you're juggling it. That day my RAM flew further than any other RAMOriginally Posted by Paper Tiger

lol, clever! I hate when you do that with something expensive...
You think installing RAM is hard? What about the heatsink for a CPU? Godamn push things never go through the board and theres always one that bends instead of going through, forcing you to take it all off and reapply the thermal paste. Ugh I hate heatsinks.
