Once I found a Compaq Presario outside after a rainstorm. The thing was soaking wet, there was an inch of water in the bottom of the case. I put it to death in the prescribed violent manner for Presarios, but kept the (soaked and waterlogged) DVD drive and HD in my closet at home. One day, I decided that I needed another Hd. I looked in my closet, and foud the old presario HD. Hooked it up, formatted... and it works like a charm. Same thing with the DVD drive, which was literally filled with water when I found it. It overheats a bit sometimes, but is otherwise peachy.
The motion picture association of america, eh? Trafficking in Counterfeit services, eh? Exactly WHAT counterfeit services could they be talking about? I hope it's not one of those "I can get you a REAL wookie bowcaster"-type things, where the people filing the charges are simply unclear on the concept of 'fan site.' It seems they're already on the track to to that with suing him for copyright infringement. Of course, I know nothing about what he actually did or didn't do.

I have an old sony walkman w/ g-protection (model D-EJ625). It's been submerged in water and dropped about 5 feet onto concrete 4 or so times. It's also been to the beach and back about 12 times. It's also survived spit in the headphone jack for 4 years running. It's also been in direct sunlight for four hours once. It's scratched up pretty good.... but otherwise... it works great. just randomly shuts off sometimes if you remove and replug the headphones or twist their jack.

No, not really. You can be stupid and still own a console- just ask most of the Halo and Halo 2 playerbase...
