I didn't realise that "surviving being sat on" was part of the design
spec for laptops nowadays :) Although my dad managed to break a
couple of PDAs doing that.
My cousin is a techie and deals with people in the State government
(in South Australia) and I think he's had a few laptop returns due to
crushing. Oh, the other thing the politicians like to do is slam the
lid shut without realising they've left a pen on the keyboard.
Supposedly the liquid from the LCD makes a mess of everything else.
Perhaps we should all be looking at those Panasonic toughbooks?
