i had a wallstreet that work had provided me with.

for some reason (massive amounts of alcohol) when i got home i decided i could spin it in the air and catch it.

go figure, eventually i missed, it fell from about 8' right onto the corner.

the cover for the irda port flew off, and it made a god awful crunching sound. at this point i was feeling a lot more sober than i had been.

i picked my baby up and at least the LCD wasn't cracked. pushed the power button and held my breath. probably the longest 5 seconds in my life.

sure enough, it booted and everything was fine. go figure. those bastards were built like tanks. i glued the irda cover back on, and it still worked. i loved that computer.
