I wonder why people think the TiBook is less rugged that then ibook.

Is there any reason to think that a hd becomes super fragile inside a 
titanium case?

Or that a CD drive is less fragile?

Or that memory sticks crumble like crumb cake?

Granted that the icebook's plastic lid is thick and doesn't create 
moire patterns if you push on it like the tiBook will.

I think people equate the beauty of the tiBook with fragility and are 
more afraid of scratching that beautiful case than they are of 
scratching that old plastic case on the ibook.

I, of course, shared those feelings about the tiBook being more 
delicate but now that I own one and have owned an icebook, I am really 
not that convinced even though I do carry it in a Pelican 1490 case.
