Regarding Buster
The lessons of this story are:
#1. Never drop your computer. Never ever ever ever. In fact, don't take it anywhere. Ensure there are cushions around it all times. Do not, repeat, do not drop it. It will cost you more than your first born child. Seriously...
#2. If you cannot follow lesson #1, then ensure you have some damn fine house insurance with no deductible on a few dear-to-you items. And a credit card.
If I could go back in time and ensure my case was properly closed, believe me, I would.
