die hard Dell

Here's an attaboy for Dell, or maybe just a lucky break. A lady brought in
her Latitude D600 for a system check. It seems she had carried it out to
the car after work in it's Targus soft case, leaned it against the car while
unlocking the door, then proceeded to back out of the stall and ran over the
laptop. The front wheel of the Acura sedan went right over the center of
the machine. Quite surprisingly, there is little damage. All that is
visible is a very slight warp to the top, nothing more.... no screen cracks,
and it works just fine!
