FALLING LAPTOPS

I dropped my computer this morning. Luckily it appears the only damage is cosmetic, and with a little super glue and possibly some heat it should be back to normal. I have been fairly pleased with this computer, all except it is so flimsily built. I wish Dell would start using something other than this rubbery plastic for its cases. Its a little disconcerting that you can pick up one corner of my laptop and it will raise off the desk 3/8ths of an inch before any of the other corners will lift off the table. I see it is becoming more reasonable to procure a civilian version of the military "hardened" laptop. When these get a little faster with a little more memory- or a little cheaper, sign me up.
