Tell me this doesn't break your heart...

While moving residences, my buddy put his wife's 15" G4 PB on the roof of his Jeep (why I will never know). Later, forgetting it was there they drove and got onto the highway. It fell off at 70MPH!

And yes, it still boots up.

Oh man! I'd be super mad if my boyfriend did that!

 

[iKitten]

*ga-a-asp* Noooo!

i don't think you guys are getting the awesome point of this story... the pb fell off of a car at 70MPH and works!!!!

 

[dtravis7]

It's a sad story till the end. I can not believe that PB still works like that! Totally amazing!!

I love stories with happy endings!

Exactly what I was going to say. Incredible that it still works and didn't sustain even more damage than it did at 70 MPH.

I heard a piece of my heart break up. But it still WORKS amazing.

Oh, I'm plenty amazed (inspired, even?) that it works ~ it's just the trauma I couldn't help reacting to!

As much as it is Heart Breaking, the fact that it is still running stuns me even more. Talk about a durable design.

WOW. Amazing thanks for sharing.

Yeah, sure, that's fine and all. But would it work if it was left on a 747's wing by mistake and dropped from 50,000 feet?

uh, what would?

id keep the powerbook and tell the war story to everyone that asks

you could be an Official spokesman for apples design

on a side note, if i was your girl, well lets just say i hope your nuts are intact and still attached

 

[Brown Study]

Whoosh.

 

[kaidomac]

That'll buff right out.

 

[kgeier82]

i wonder if apple will consider that a case defect? ha ha, not

 

[Willem]

Whoosh

I missed whatever the joke was as well. Link?

 

[todd51]

That's crazy, at least she can get all her important stuff off of there while it still works, I hope she plans to get a new computer!

 

[kgeier82]

im sure she is hoping to get a new computer.

now as to who's paying for it, and with what, is going to be up for debate

 

[fleurya]

Wow, I think those photos are too graphic for public view and should come with a warning for young audiences!

Whoever said "that'll buff right out" exactly what I was thinking when I saw them and cracked me up!

Oh mannnnn.....I'm sure Apple will give you a replacement for free though. lol
