    However, smashing a webcam seems like a fun thing to do why complain??
    It wouldn't matter if the coffee was 1,000C, when you order coffee you should assume it's hot by default. If I got a cold coffee I'd spit it back at the idiot who served me (unless it's bailys or something, but that's not my kind of drink).

    I went into a Doctor's surgery the other day and there was a small electric heater on the table at the back. It had a sign next to it saying "WARNING - THIS HEATER IS HOT".

    Regarding Logitech, surely this is open to abuse as you can get a new product whenever you fancy it. You've lost nothing by smashing up your older model.

    I would have thought, more significant is the fact that you can take several pictures rom different angles, smash it up some more, take more pictures, etc, then buy a new camera, ask for another RMA and send the other pics you took of the smashed camera. 3 for the price of 2!

    Hey, I've no complaints about Logitech's customer service. I just thought the hammer instruction was a bit bonkers. Hmmmm, I might run it over with the car though...

    BTW, you gotta love the way ARM's mind works.

    Of course, the other thing you could do for laughs is put together a CSI style autopsy report for your now deceased webcam, include as many pictures and descriptions as you can within that filesize limit

    It's a bit mad but I can fully understand it

    Smash it, claim a piece of loose shrapnel hit you in the eye and sue the pants off them for not giving you proper instructions on safe disposal of hardware. <nod> <wink>

    Dear Sir,

    While Flogging the dead horse as instructed, you neglected to fully warn me of the back lash that may occure when using a whip.

    The resault of which has left me with injuries and emotional scaring.

    I shall see you in court.

    Smashing with a hammer doesn't sound very environmentally friendly.

    It also doesn't sound as much fun as putting it in a vice and attacking it with a 12" angle grinder.

    All in all it sounds a bit pointless to me

    Well, true to their word, Logitech sent me a replacement webcam. Great turnaround too. I emailed them the final details on Saturday and the webcam arrived today.

    I reckon I'll get smashing at the weekend...
