This reminds me my friend Jack.
I worked at #blackberry for a bit and one of the "perks" at the time was employee pricing on devices. After the lackluster launch of the #playbook #tablet, it was a yardsale - we could grab up to 10 Playbooks for cost essentially ($200-300 depending on model).
My friend Milo bought four. Two were for Jack, his son with Downs syndrome.
Jack had a collection of favourite things, he would carry around with him in his Favourite Things pillowcase: feathers, stuffed animals, sticks, leaves... stones.. and a brick. And that Playbook. Down the stairs? `TUNK-DUNK-DUNK-CRUNCH-TUNK` went the pillow case.
That goddamned Playbook lasted 4 years. When it finally died (fell in the pool, not abuse), they unboxed the second one and got 3 more years out of IT.
I think about that Playbook at lot. I still have one in a box somewhere, I don't have the heart to recycle it.
Anyways, Thinkpads of this era were the same. Indestructable.
