I find it ironic that my previous posts were about my laptop, my new bag, and my habit for abusing my electronics (the sansa toughskin review) as to my HORROR I nearly dropped my laptop a yesterday.
While ascending the stairs in the parking garage I slipped and caught myself before falling. Unfortunately my laptop bag continued its pendulum momentum, swung off my shoulder and hit the concrete step hard with a sickening smack. As soon as I got to my car I took the lappy out of the bag, put it on the trunkhood and fired it up. It was fine, THANK GOD.
So kudos to Gateway and Decode/Sumdex for building good products for bad owners!
