2005, bought mine at UCLA’s student store for a discounted price of $800. Really nice deal. Anyway, a couple of months my first powerbook landed it’s first bruise. I had a bulky vintage camera hanging above my desk in my dorm room. After reaching for something right next to it, the camera fell right on top of the CD drive, mashing it together, making it impossible to insert any disc.

I used my swiss army knife to pry it open, further damaging the bruise. Sigh. It’s official: I can’t take care of things. Even if they’re worth 800 bucks.
