      Threw my Mac Book Pro down 2.5 flights of stairs this morning, in our house, that equates to about 25 stairs.  It gambolled from stair to stair and even chucked itself through the bannisters thereby free-falling about 12 feet at one point.  Apart from a badly dented USB port (that still works), nothing seems amiss - Amazing….

      For the avoidance of doubt @Madame Buttonfly was not involved in this "experiment"…

        @Giles - thanks for clearing me from any involvement in this Mac Book related incident.  You gave me and the cats quite a scare!

          Ha!

          I came very, very close to launching all my Apple gear off my balcony a few years ago. Yet another of their seemless software 'upgrades' meant that everything went from working fine to utterly borked in minutes.

          15 years ago I hated Apple then my girlfriend made me love them. I'm pretty much back to where I started these days, but have so much kit I feel a bit stuck.

                  I nearly asked you to ask him.  It fell from the landing outside our bedroom to half way down the flight of stairs leading to the rear porch, it was a rizla paper's thickness away from dropping through the bannisters a second time when it came to rest, then it would have been toast as it would have fallen onto the stone flags…..

                    That is quite a drop, it's nice that you finally got away with not destroying a MacBook 💻

                        Wow! I hope it doesn't have any invisible damage. I dropped my powerbook (hey, it was 2007) once, and it was fine for about a day and a half, then developed a slow bleed of black across the display and never turned on again.

                            Is that a pair of IH-708s that I see @jdl1279?

                            I like my pair, but they've still got a way to go before they look great.

                                  Posted in 708 thread. They're not great pics, but it's early and too cold to be outside yet in them
