So i just joined the "dropped my thinkpad and it made a sickening noise" club.

It lives.

Thinkpads are pretty indestructible.

Mine got droped from a "carry on area" on the bycicle, now idea hoe it's called ("Gepäcksträger") about a year later the cd drive started making funny noices, so I took it out. Now after years of faithfull service, the keyboard wen't to the grave (but I've ordered a new one), so long story short, those fuckers are pretty indestructable!

My laptops HDD has gone through way too many times for it to still be working

@byogdc pretty sure if i use silver bullets on all its horcruxes before i drop it into mount doom while calling its true name i could do it
