In 10 years of laptop usage, I nuked one hard drive with spilled coffee (I'm always drinking coffee while I'm using my computer), and that was kind of a freak thing when a few drops snuck in from the keyboard to the hd. That's the only significant damage I've had to my tech. I think you really have to be abusing some of the technology to be breaking it on a regular basis.

There's probably some abuse related to the iPad. The laptop, I actually think that was a freak thing....it's relatively new and everyone takes good care of it anytime I've been around them. The van and the house? Major point of contention between the wife and I....I plead guilty on that one. Having been able to impose my will in those areas.
My stuff : laptop, phone, tablet, etc. looks brand new. I take very good care and things last a long time ---- also better resale value on tech. But I'm not around stuff at the house 24/7, so things happen out of my control.
I'm getting a laugh from all the people saying to put a foot in their ass....just not that simple.
Also got a chuckle from the wife ---- "you want me to try to glue the crack?" So you're suggesting that we put glue next to the new 1080P screen?
