    I mean I accidently stepped on my Vostro 1500 in my backpack, actually twice. At that time I weighed 104 kg, almost 230 pounds. Nothing damaged.

    Man, not again!

    Every few months or so, someone has the urge of proving that ThinkPads are tough, robust, durable, whatever.

    Look at those two feet in thick socks. Why not wear heavy boots? Why not slam a steel hammer?
