Happy customers don't tend to come to sites like this and say "I'm not having any problems"; people come here to bitch and moan when they DO have problems.

I also suspect that the majority of broken screens come from "user abuse" (perhaps through ignorance) rather than being a design flaw in the machine.
Design flaw *AND* user abuse. (And I strongly lean towards "user-abuse" being a major factor in at least 80% of the cases.)
