Too bad Apple doesn't make any Tempest Technology laptops...Looks like you need to get a nice used Panasonic ToughBook...I had one slide off the roof of my car once and hit the pavement at at least 5 mph and nothing popped open! Fired right up as if nothing happened!

Yes, by daughter did exactly the same to one of my t68i phones...
When I took it from her (after only about 30 seconds) it was FULL of
baby spit. Never charged correctly again.

She has killed my power book G4 a couple of times already also,
luckily I can fix it. Still dreading the broken screens that seem to
be a certainty in my future.

In this case I was trying for Engadget.com, and instead wound up at www.edgadget.com which appears to have lots of Newton software.
