Asked by a mother to recover family photos from her deceased son’s laptop. Fortunately I noticed and removed the porn folders before passing over the USB stick.

The one thing I absolutely hate doing is getting inside my mom’s computer. She’s a heavy chain smoker and everything is covered in yellow tar.

Yes, smoking is bad for your computer.

I feel this. The most disgusting thing I’ve ever had to do was clean my chain-smoking parents’ house after their passing so we could put it up for sale. I can vividly imagine what the inside of a smoker’s PC must look like, just based on that experience.

I was sent to an office in Paris, pre-Y2K, where everyone smoked and the windows were always kept open. Every machine there was black inside.

I worked for a pipe smoker in the 90s. He left his computer uncovered. The bottom of the case was completely covered in ash. I have no idea how that computer stayed working.
