Central Pa. boy ruins $36,000 worth of computers by peeing on them
An 11-year-old boy ruined $36,000 worth of Apple MacBook computers by peeing on a cart full of machines in the hall at a Upper Allen Elementary School in Mechanicsburg, Pa.
WHTM-TV reported that school officials don’t know what motivated the boy. Subsequently, Huffington Post reported that the reason the computers were considered a total lost is that once urine gets on a MacBook, techs won’t touch them because urine is considered a biohazard.
