That's a thrill I will never experience. I am very clumsy. If I'm within
500 feet of a computer with an open case, one it's boards will short out :-).

So the only way I can acquire a new computer is to buy one, a prospect
which I find slightly more attractive than having a tooth pulled without
anesthesia.
