MacBook Pro, the bulletproof vest

Shot MacBook Pro You know those MacBook Pros, they take a bullet to the heart and keep on ticking. The picture tells a story of a laptop that in the course of a mugging, got shot. It looks to still be functioning fine (save for the distortion in the optical drive).

The original source of the photos has, at the time I write this, taken the pictures down. The reason is unknown. I must say though, this brings new utility to Mac in a Top.

in may 2005 i got hit by a car while crossing a crosswalk, with my iBook in my messenger bag, which is a low bag that hangs down by my knees almost... well, it saved my legs from getting broken, the screen is usless now but the iBook still works and i was able to retrive all of my data using migration assistant. to this date the iBook still powers up and everything other than the screen (completely smashed) seems to work fine...

There is a reason the photos were taken down; here it is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fidgetingwildly/404191825

This reminds me of the US serviceman (Marine, I think) in Iraq, who was saved by his Apple laptop.

I think it was an iBook, but I could be wrong.
