Me neither. They don’t bounce, they just kind of hit the ground with a sudden stop and a sickening thud.
At least that’s the sound my laptop made when I picked up my unzipped laptop case tonight. I watched my Sony VAIO fall about two feet right on the front of it’s case. After a quick prayer I picked it up.
The fall popped out the left side of the keyboard, shot the battery out, and broke the clips that keep the laptop closed. I pushed the keyboard down, replaced the battery and started it up. It started without a problem and after a quick test, everything seems fine. Unfortunately, there isn’t much I can do about the broken clips except buy some duct tape.
I had a similar accident about a month ago, except it was a three foot fall and it landed in the parking lot at work beside my car. I can still hear the sound of plastic sliding across concrete. Yeah, my laptop has road rash.
Any way, writing this post is a pretty good testimonial for the Sony VAIO PCG-GR300K. Still working like a champ after nearly two and a half years of HEAVY use and two not so gentle falls.
(Maybe Sony will give me FREE stuff for writing this!)

Who knew… I’m a menace to society!
Wackiness: 56/100
Rationality: 44/100
Constructiveness: 48/100
Leadership: 50/100
You are a WEDF–Wacky Emotional Destructive Follower. This makes you a menace to society, depending on how you channel your energies. You chew your fingers and have an addictive personality. Properly guided, you can be enormously productive–otherwise you run amok, stir up trouble, and generally have a hell of a good time.
To your friends, you are a source of relentless entertainment. You often get into trouble, but you almost always find a way out. You are strangely popular and feed off others’ energy. You live hard, seize the day, and although your more sober friends would like to see you settled down, you generally have fewer regrets and better memories than they do. Your tenet is that, at the end of the day, one regrets only what one didn’t try. You are right.
You could benefit from outside help in balancing your highs and lows. Or perhaps cutting back on the caffeine.

I got a ticket doing 87 in a 65 last weekend.
For once, the officer wasn’t a jackass. Usually, a speeding ticket comes with a text book lecture (yeah, i’ve got at least a half dozen tickets under my belt). This time, it didn’t even take 5 minutes. It was a simple “Here’s your ticket” stop. He didn’t even tell me to slow down. Why would he? I just helped pay his salary.
So, I guess I can’t be convinced to slow down even after a $200.00 ticket.
I think I’ve had 7 tickets in my life. That is about 1 ticket every 2.5 years.
If I continue with an average of 1 ticket every 2.5 years, and am still driving at age 75, I can look forward to another 17 speeding tickets in my lifetime. That will equal $3500 in fines and over 50 hours of defensive driving.
Well, at least I know what to look forward to.
