Watch Now : Virtual Machine Movement with Hyper-V

A man has been arrested in Germany for allegedly stuffing two computers full of potatoes.

The man returned a PC he'd just bought to shop in a Kaiserslautern, complaining that it didn't work. When staff opened up the machine they were astonished to find that it was packed full of spuds.

The retailer duly replaced the machine only for the chap to return again a few hours later incensed that his replacement PC was also on the blink.

When staff took another peep inside the machine - you guessed it - it was full of Roy Hudds (spuds).

And this time, the punter didn’t want a replacement, he wanted a refund.

According to the Guardian, staff suspected that all wasn't as it seemed and called the police. Shortly after, the guy was arrested. ®
