I did that with a pizza one time. Picked it up at Giuseppe’s Pizza, put it on the roof of my car to get my keys out, jumped in the car and drove away. That pizza ended up in the middle of the first intersection I came to.
Yeah... Not one of my better days... But, a lesson learned. That was my last $2000 laptop. Ever since, I have been buying new, cheaper boxes. Acer makes great machines under $600. The one I'm on right now cost me $450 and is extremely nice, though Mac folks won't appreciate the 64bit Win7...
I can run over four of these, and STILL save money!!! : P
