    Was going to recycle an old Dell laptop I scavenged from work a while back because I thought the motherboard was shot (from its diagnostic beeps and non-booting). My soon-to-be-6yo son was playing around with it for an hour, and then I hear a "hey Daddy look what it's doing", and it friggin' POST'd. And I could get into the BIOS. And then I was able to boot into GNU/Linux.

    Must have either needed a good charge or it may have been the CD-ROM drive, since he was playing with it. Idk what other hardware he could have somehow coerced.

    Show-off. But he earned himself his own laptop, I guess.
