breaky bits

  • rubber feet
  • moleskin padding
  • stickers
  • pcmcia card slot filler
  • molded plastic screen endpeices
  • lid closers

The above are all the minor breaky bits that have broken off of my laptop in the several years I've owned it. The lid closers happened today when a chair collapsed, and it's the closest to something important to break off so far. At this point I have exactly one expendible breaky bit left:

  • pcmcia card eject button

After that, I guess my streak of luck will be over and I'll lose the wifi antenna or the screen, or the hard drive, or the battery tray. All things that I'm rather suprised have survived intact so far..
