I had a simalar experience with my first cell phone... my mom sent it through the wash on purpose. Sadly, I didn't know and it went in the dryer too!
Now I'm on my 3rd Cell phone cause my 2nds screen broke. I got a Razr V3 yesterday!!!

Thats good!
OOO... I have an idea! set the pic below as your background and show it to your step mom and see what she says! lol.
I'm just now reading this thread...
but I'm glad you got a new iBook. That sucks about what happened to your first one. I would've freaked out! But good thing you got a new one. Congrats on the "new" iBook!

aaaahahahaha I did this to my PowerBook and took if to the genius bar for an unrelated issue.
THEY GAVE ME SUCH A HARD TIME!
Aahahaha it was fantastical!
it's a great prank to play on your $2000 computer that you got for free.
I'm such a nerd and a jerk, but I LOVE IT!
My mom and I were fighting and she threw my iBook a few feet onto a pillow on the floor (it was on the couch while we were arguing). Broke the display bezel and screwed up the hinge alignment. A month later, I picked it up, the display bent a weird way, the screen blanked, and it never started up again--complete logic board failure.
Moral of the story: never let your angry parent(s) near your precious electronics!

I'm sure he'll think it's hilarious.. completely and utterly hilarious... MUAHAH!
LilStewart,
I know how hard you worked and how long you waited for your iBook.
I'm more than sorry to hear what has happened.
Even though you feel better that your stepmother is buying you a replacement, I'm shocked that she could be so vicious knowing how much your iBook meant to you.
Any parent would be delighted that you find such strong motivation at your age to go out and work hard for something you want.
As a parent of three,
I can tell you that your stepmother has much to learn.
Your maturity in this situation is admirable.
You deserve our respect for handling it so well.

I think this is all BS, sorry but if it happened to me i wouldnt tell anyone.
Sorry if i am wrong
Sorry if i am wrong
Yes, you ARE wrong.carpe diem said:
Gosh, I didn't know this thread was still alive! My iBook the 2nd one is doing awesome.
The other iBook is great, too. I use it with an external screen and use it all the time.
Oh, and we did get money back from our credit card. But, instead of fixing it, she used the money for the new one. Fair, but she should've fixed the iBook. She shouldn't have used the money to get out of her consequence for smashing my dear computer.
Sorry for opening this thread again.
