Durable iBook, my ass.

Data (at least the important stuff) is fine. Screen's fine. The magnesium-mount saved everything but the port, it appears. You'd still think that the iBook would take more pains to protect its lifeline to the real world (after all, it does have the i in the name).

It could be worse.

Well, at least everything else is in order and it looks like the iBook took the impact fairly well. It could be worse as you said so don't worry. If it's only an ethernet problem it will be quickly fixed.

Just occured to me.. Have you tried booting from the Apple Hardware test CD?

No, but that's a damned good idea.

Don't you guys know that the bread always falls butter-side down?

ravuya:
Usually when I've had laptops drop they fall on an outstretched cd-rom tray, or bounce and then land on tile. Must have been a board or something, I thought the port was fairly recessed in the iBook.

Hey Ravuya, did you try the hardware test CD?
