Slowly Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Originally posted by phaeton: Asians say they can smell the dairy products we consume. Hmmm.... How can i ask this as benignly as possible... Anyone else notice that people have an "ethnic smell"? Not good, bad, or otherwise, just "noticeable"? I repair a lot of computers throughout the day, and without looking at their name or any other information, i can tell you the following things about them just by the smell that comes out of the back of their computer when i first fire it up: 1) Ethnic background 2) Approximate size of the household, or approximate age if it is a one or two person home. 3) What kinds of pets they have, and how many 4) What room the computer is in (basements and kitchens are dead ringers, as are laundry rooms) 5) How many packs a day they smoke 6) Roughly how relatively *clean* their house is kept. I make a mental note of all of these things (and a few others) and compare notes with reality by looking at them and their car when they come to pick it up. I surprise myself and my co-workers at how often i'm right. When I worked on TV's, the dirtier the inside of the TV the cleaner the house. Is that true with pc's? Kcbass "Let It Be!"
