Ouch!

Wow, I get upset when I accidentally drop a $300 digital camera. I can't imagine how bad this guy felt.

Virtuoso musician David Garrett smashed a $1 million (£540,000) violin when he fell over after a concert in London over Christmas.

Apparently, David fell down a flight of stairs (due to some very spiffy-looking performance shoes). Fortunately; he is all right, as his violin case broke his fall.  Unfortunately; the violin was crushed in several places. Estimated repair costs? Over $100,000 dollars!!! Ouch!

Ouch is right. I fell down this winter for no reason other than I wasn't paying attention to where I was going...but the MacBook broke my fall. Not only do I have a wonderful case for it...but I have apple protection, although I don't know if the warranty covers me falling on it...

Hmm.. I'd stick with the case. You never can seem to rely on warranties to cover what happens to your machine. :)
