Dear Harry:
Sometimes, my unbridled enthusiasm does cause me to use phrases that are ill advised. It is a very stable and rugged unit compared to many others that are out there. I am very proud of my EZ Reader as it takes far too much abuse. This does not mean I want to abuse it or advise others to do that. It means "I have abused it by accident and it has taken it so far". I hoped others would deduct from that if they do not abuse it it should last a good long time.
Timex watches used to do that. They would put a waterproof watch on a boat propeller and show the watch took it. This did NOT cause me to go out and put my watch on a boat propeller... I deducted they were making a good watch and that was all.
Yes, in the future, I will have to add the phrase: "I was lucky! You may NOT be if you drop your device. Part of my job is to treat my device a little harshly so that YOU do not have to worry as much. Do NOT try this with your device!"
