Co-worker of mine has a 15″ PowerBook G4 that started having the keys on the keyboard rub off. She argued it was because she works so hard. I argued it had to do with the lotion she puts on her hands all the time.
Then an accident that involved tripping over the power cord caused the power plug and the casing around it to warp. Now it only charges if the plug is in there at exactly the right angle. She blames her husband.
This weekend she instant messages telling me that she left her PowerBook G4 on the trunk of her car. She went through some winding roads, a few stop signs and finally 1.3 miles later it fell off into an intersection. She didn’t know this at the time though. After hours of searching she got in touch with the police. It was found by someone and brought to them and an officer delivered it to her house six hours after the fact.
The kicker is that she was messaging me from that same computer. I’m impressed it still works. I’m not sure what her deal is with computers as she’s actually quite nice to me.

I have a similar dent on the front-left corner of my Macbook Pro. It’s still possible to insert a DVD, but just barely.
They’re tough machines.

Throwing in a sick dog was a decoy and and a daughter who is worried about her mommy getting fired. . . . hmmmm . . . . she IS good.

I mentioned to Aaron this morning that I have worn out several keys on my keyboard and it’s only a year old but it’s not a Mac
