[iSaint]

This whole thread is making me think twice about posting after I give my brother a 12" in a couple of months.

Ew.

uhm, you just did...

 

[GoCubsGo]

Not a smart girl... she would milk him for all he's worth! *sorry, quite buzzed at the moment!*

This thread is hysterical!! Am pishen masel reading it (and i'm not even scottish)

I'd take a 12 inch over a ring anyday ...umm yeah, powerbook i mean...

 

[tekmoe]

well, it happened...she dropped it.

it was in her backpack inside of the tucano second-skin i bought for her. the backpack fell off the hook in the locker and probably fell about 3 to 4 feet. the front left corner of the powerbook is now dented and looks deformed. ohhhh it hurts so bad.

i am trying to get over it, but geez, i am so mad right now. i know she didn't do it on purpose, but i have this huge ball of hate inside of me right now that i can't seem to get rid of. the powerbook functions fine, the lid opens and closes just like it did before. it's just that stupid dent. it sticks out like a big red thumb!

Dang that must be annoying, it would have pissed me off so much especially if it was down to her taking bad care of the powerbook,

One thing i know is that if i had a 12" powerbook it would never get into a situation where dropping it is at all likely....

ShadOW

I'm guessing this reflects badly on that Tucano product. I know that sleeves can't protect against everything, but being inside a laptop sleeve that was inside a backpack, and yet it gets dented after a 3 foot fall? Dang.

Ew.

Wow, that's HAWT!

 

[tekmoe]

yeah, and what's even worse is the backpack is a samsonite made for notebooks. it has the thick padding on the bottom of the backpack.

i guess she's lucky it was only a dent and not more...

 

[dcv]

OMG i have a Tucano skin... right, mental note: don't carry the PB anywhere, keep it safe at home!

Actually the LA Robe sleeves look quite good, i recently bought one for my sister for her iBook and they are VERY nice and padded

What a bummer... but you're right; at least it was only *ouch* cosmetic and not functionally boo-booed. Maybe invest in one of those notebook backpacks that actually suspend the laptop w/in its compartment in case of minor drops (doubt anything could help a 3-4 foot drop, really)?
