So me and an intern were throwing paper at each other, I escalated it to tossing a tape dispenser and he ducked, it hit the screen of his hit g-4 laptop.
i offered to pay for the repairs as penance for being a fool.
what am i looking at $?

- okaybro0
how much coin is my toss of a tape dispensor goona run me?
- ribit0
depends.... did it go right through the screen?
- 4cY0

what kind of damage did you cause?

looks like at the least $378... I'm guessing with materials it'll go up to $1000 or so. that is, if you killed the lcd monitor.
good thing he's just an intern! hah!

ahh, it made the screen go all scan liney and has a black spot that looks like a baseball went through a window.

still, throwing a tape dispenser at someone, that's hardcore.

yeah, sounds like replacement time to me. but I'm no technician, so my opinion is totally worthless!

Well, i guess you got to replace the whole LCD moniter...
Not to be mean but you're lucky dude, what if you hit the intern right away on his head?
You'll be in jail.

the tape was more of a playful toss, than a fastball.
He's a good kid and I feel like crap for bustin' up his machine. offered to pay and do his design school homework

good man!
that's a nice thing to do..
maybe if you live close to an Apple Store you two might both go there and let them look at it, maybe they can estimate the repaircosts...

my compliments were aimed at this post:

man haven't you heard the expression...
it's fun and games until an intern's laptop gets busted
or something like that
i used to work at a gas station and I'd come in and replace the night guy at like 7:00 in the morning - 60% of the time the night guy would be face down on the counter dead asleep - i'd always sneak right up on the outside window and slam it really hard with my open palm - he always jumped right out of his skin - it was so much fun to see him get scared so badly everytime - well let's just say one day i guess i hit that window too hard and it shattered - were talking a really huge and I imagine really expensive window - me and the night guy just told the boss that some young punks did it - so no probs - but yes sometime horsing around breaks things :)

had a similar window breaking experience:
15 yrs old, my friend was on the roof of a house and scared to jump off. To make him jump, i hit the window it shattered, he jumped, we ran, got chased, escaped.
