They really are delicate things, the Toughbook was great but the hard drive went, or something technical.
Beside the wine of glass, how can you bust so many? I have my second one life time at the moment, the other went down after 6-7 years, well, the battery gave up which means my laptop had to be always connected to an electricity source and 256 megs of ram were now absolutely not enough to carry the load of today's programs. I changed it afterward for the one I have at the moment but I never busted one whatsoever. Do you have some secret anger management problem that you just expose on your laptop instead of keeping it inside or expelling it over other peoples or? ;)
I sat on one, managed to snap the screen bit off a couple, the dogs got to others, at least one ended up in little bits on the lawn. Every six months or so a security guy from work turns up to upgrade my work computers' security system and they leave me new laptops with new security on and tell me not to use the old ones so I give them to familyetc. But I have managed to bust quite a few.
One went into a canal in Amsterdam one weekend!
Immediately after a conversation with Lyle on green fundamentalism.

Or after Kirkland made some remarks about how the girls in the red windows were hot in front of his girlfriend... ;)
