That's gotta hurt, I'd need serious professional help after seeing that happen to my Mac.

I'm sure there's a self-help group for Desk Trauma somewhere...

That's just wrong - cleaning that up would be a huge pain as well....I've never had a glass desk myself, just one more reason to never get one.

Its a good thing it was only a cube and small monitor - I imagine if it had been a G5 and a larger display, something more than the desk would have been damaged...

Toughened glass has one very large Achilles heel.

that really sucks, and cleaning that one would take a while. that poor cube

that's why my desk at home is glass on wood- fashion and functionality
