loads, and it never broke.

then one night i dropped it on the couch from about four inches height and the fecking screen broke. They wanted £150 for a new one and the thing only cost £250 so it's still wired up to a monitor in the bedroom. Laptops are really shit.


none

because that would just be stupid.


eurgh

I'm real, you've met me!


Twentynine's Tech Tip #2:

If your boss has one of those laptops that claims to "recognise when it's falling" and "braces itself for impact" by "doing something technical", this isn't a cue to drop it out the car window "to test it".

Same goes with the Motorola "indestructible" phone handset (y'know, the one in the adverts with mountain bikes and shit)... don't drop-kick it across the Manchester Velodrome.


my friend had that phone.

he had to drop it in 4 pints before it broke. pretty impressive. and they just send you a new one cos its supposed to be indestructable


i dropped my ibook onto a hard floor

the actual computer was fine but the hinges broke so i had to send it back to apple for fixing..had applecare though so it was free


I don't own a laptop

:-|


who cares?

as long as i havent got no reply threads in a row

I spilt water over this one, and it broke

The I dropped it and it started working again.

Is this about insurance?


nah,

i'm just wondering how many times it can be dropped. i'm on about 7 i think


once

when you send it off, do they format it? My bizzare concern, I mean, there are pictures of kittens on here I'll never be able to find again.


well i sleep with my laptop in bed...

and it often falls out. i'm a bit more careful now.

i did accidentally spill an entire pint of CHERRYADE over my mac laptop once. It STILL works would you believe. but i am still so ashamed of myself for not looking after my apple. :(


yes that's clearly sexual innuendo..

if it makes you happy, meths.


only if its an ibook.

one of the exepnsive ones mind
