Tough laptop

Good one....... :butt:

I can confirm, from personal experience, a Panasonic Toughbook will survive being run over by a Land Rover.

(Don't ask)

Have you also considered a pencil and paper?

Here's where I ask...on a note of responsibility and appreciation for one's belongings...Why doesn't the client make the kid purchase all of the laptops that he has ruined? I know from personal experience that when I buy my laptops they cost me around 2600 USD a piece. (I have 5) That being said, I know that if I abuse any one of them I will have to replace parts for them, or possibly the whole laptop. I hate the parents that replace their childrens' stuff when they decide to find out what will happen to their laptop if they throw it from the top of the Sears Tower.

The best solution is a lesson of genuine value.

I'd just finished doing an outdoor gig (I used to be a DJ), and I packed the laptop up, and leant it against the back tyre. Got in to warm the engine up, turned the key, found out I'd left the truck in reverse. Didn't even feel the bump.

OC, That "ancient wisdom" was not meant for you. Yes, accidents do happen. But this child has gone through MANY laptops, and I doubt his is part of any war, and that he prolly doesn't belong to the local EMS team. This is a school environment.

On the subject of ancient wisdom ... here's my old school laptop

[Stalemate]

I recall a TV show where the Panasonics were being tested (heat, cold, shock by being dropped), and the critics were just raving about them.

No worries dude, thought I'd just explain another of my random acts of stupidity.
