I have posted this before: Last July I had a car accident. My 
original-issue 15-inch TiBook was in the trunk of the car in a 
close-fitting cloth sleeve only, no other protection. It bounced around 
quite a bit as the car turned over, and when the car came to a stop 
everything in the trunk was thrown out into the ditch.

The TiBook started right up and has worked fine ever since. The car is 
history.
