If they crashed the computer irrecoverably did they have to throw away the computer after?
Yes I believe they dragged it to the wastebasket
Thanks for the clarification - it makes sense now.
They then used an even larger mouse to drag the actual computer to the garbage bin.
The garbage bin then caught fire.
This is the origin of the dumpster fire meme.
A capybara or was it a smaller mouse then that?
I'm probably missing a joke here, but irrecoverably as in they most likely needed another computer to fix it: In this case, create a new startup floppy disk - there was no hard drive, after all.
Why can’t you just take the hard drive out of the garbage and reinstall?
The computer is inaccessible, and if you did that, the best way to fix it, while also avoiding any other potential issues stemming from that, is just to reinstall the thing.
The beepy thing, the brrr-brr thing or the flashy thing?
The box what goes bang if you poke it wrong.
