well i WAS goin to type down my "sorry" and "i can't believe that happened" and "that sucks, i feel sorry for you." BUT if you have enough money to spend on 2 powerbooks without feeling bad, guess you dont really need my sorrys. if spending over 6 grand aint a thing for you, i'm going to vegas next week, and would love to have some more spending money.

pm me if interested. :D
 
dumbass.

Out of curiosity...why do I see so many 17" pbook configurations with the price quoted upwards of $3000? The stock configurations are more or less maxed out on power (excepting of course ram).

I'm assuming these configs include applecare...but then what else? Ram, and software can obviously be had elsewhere for much cheaper. Somebody please explain.

I just got my BRAND NEW $3200 PowerBook this afternoon about 4 hours ago. So I get it all hooked up and running, and go sit out on my apartment balcony, im on the 2nd floor.
So im sitting in my patio chair, using the powerbook,when i decide to run in and grab a couple Pepsi's. So I look around for a place to set the PowerBook, see the table is covered with junk, so I set it up on the wide balcony railing.
Upon coming back out, im trying to juggle a glass and 3 pepsi's am halfway to my chair and i trip over the damn power cord! The power cord yanks out of the socket in the power book and the powerbook wobbles on the railing, and as i lunge for it, it topples off the railing to the concrete patio 2 storys below.
Now the aluminum is battered, dented, smashes, has bits of rock embedded in it. The screen is shattered and cracked in a million places, the whole bottom half is bent like a pretzel, the keyboards fell apart keys everwhere, its totally smashed and totalled!
im just about sobbing here, im about to kill myself! argh!!!

I pretty much knew what happened what I read that. When I first saw this thread's title, "I totaled my new powerbook....", I didn't see the "SOB" part and I thought someone added up the total price of their new Powerbook.....guess I was a bit off :eek:

But man that really hurt to read that. That has to be one the worst computer disasters I've ever heard.
 
eep!

and for shame! not learning your lesson! but oh well.

y'know its funny. i have a PB and a laptop and keep them on my desk 24/7. same for my DS and GBA. i only play them in my room. my Gamecubes travelled more than my GBA. hmmm.
 
It sounds like to him that $3,000 is cheap for him. So he spent $6,500 for one new Powerbook. I would rather buy a new Hyundai car instead.
 
i feel bad for the computer.... why would you put in on the railing... its like leaving a computer out in the rain :rolleyes:
i would like to see pictures though :D
 
all i can say is sorry and hopefully your insurance will cover it. I wont bother with the railing stuff.

To those who want to see a photo of my unfortuanate occurance, Im sorry, wish I could, but I just havent been able to afford a digital camera. Besides, what would I use one for, except for taking naked shots of my hairy obese pale body to post on geek fetish porn sites?
 
I smell a troll...

Only one response from this guy, and no pictures posted? Hmmm...

And just about every credit card company offers protections....

P.S. All those digg.com people can rot in hell for their anti-Apple comments...shows what they know.

Bummer

I'm so crazy that I lock up my iMac (G5) in a bedroom when I leave the house so you can't see it in the office.
