The ULTIMATE screen durability test

<short horror story>
So, I'm typing along on my oh so lovely Sager 5680 with UXGA screen, when, without warning, my brother fires a paint ball at me, misses me, and cracks it all over my screen! However, this AWESOME screen is so durable that it wasn't even scratched (can't say the same for my brother). There's paint under the keyboard now, but I'll figure a way to get it out, and the lappy is still running strong.

If any of you hesitate to by a sager on grounds of its strength, this ought to sell you.

Happy 2k4!

Ouch. If it were me, I'd make sure he wouldn't be able to hold a paintball gun for a long time

So where do i send the flowers to your brother's funeral? I'm assuming that you put him out of his misery quickly.

No, no, something like this requires thought and deliberation. Then a long slow process of demostrating why doing anything that might endanger or even just soil a SAGER is really, really bad. "Sorry, little brah, but this is for your own good. How will you know not to do this in your next life if you don't learn the lesson really well in this one?" "Hopefully as the last thing in this life, it will be the first thing you remember in the next."

Actually, this is exactly why I don't have any little brothers. I'm just glad my big brother is a real softee plus he figured it'd be more fun to keep me alive so he could mention all my most embarressing moments to those I'd least like to know at the worst possible time.

If it were me, by the time that pellet was halfway to the screen, that paintball gun would've been half way up his

Gold, you must have had a technical glitch; your post seems incomplete somehow .

You could of course take the other approach John and tell your brother how much you love and cherish his companionship and that no matter what might pass between you (see Gold's post above ) that the bond of brotherhood will not falter. You might even let him spend some time using your 5680 (once he has cleaned all the paint from under the keyboard first).

There again you might consider this comment by an American General when asked about the saying: "Violence only leads to more violence."

His reply: "This one is so stupid you usually have to be the president of an Ivy League university to say it. Here's the truth, which you know in your heads and hearts already:
Ineffective, unfocused violence leads to more violence.
Limp, panicky, half measures lead to more violence.
However, complete, fully thought through, professional, well executed violence never leads to more violence because, you see, afterwards, the other guys are all dead. That's right, dead. Not "on trial," not "reeducated," not "nurtured back into the bosom of love." Dead.
