Oh man, did no one read my post from earlier this week? I quote:: >You've gotta be kidding? My pismo is bulletproof, ti-books are way too >fragile, ask anyone who own's one.

I disagree. My TiBook took a fall that broke my LCD on my Pismo 2 years ago. What happend? The case cracked. Right in the lower left corner by the battery. The case is designed for a few things: 1) size, 2) heat dispersal and 3) give-way for 'accidents.' I already got the quote on the replacement cover: $275. I would gladly spend that instead of $2000 for a new display (this laptop has already gotten one of those this year -- not my fault and my friend replaced it in cash). :: End Quote. The Bronze design did not do any of those three things well. Not even the display. -- Ryan Coleman Coleman Web/Internet Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cwis.biz "Has any one supposed it lucky to be born?
