[QUOTE="VastDeathmaster, post: 48738"] I dropped my iBook twice. Both times it was from the bed to the floor. The first time, it landed on the nic port while it was plugged in. Even with Applecare fully in place, they wouldn't fix it without charging me $850. The second time it slid off the bed, it landed on the power cable. THAT cracked, but the port was not damaged. (I think the CD drive was damaged, because it was later replaced ) In both cases, had I had a powerbook the plugs would have been in the back, the CD in the front, and I would not have had the problems I had. I'm extra careful with the iBook now but I bought an airport card and wireless router so I could connect to the web. [/QUOTE]
