just broke the screen of my precious Iliad
Before going out to diner, I put my Iliad on to charge and set the device on the top of my computer box. Got home form dinner and started looking at some web sites and as I usually do, put my big feet on the computer box. Only problem, I felt a sickening crunch as my foot hit the screen of my Iliad.
The poor thing has survived several drops including one from my car on to a gravel car park (withoput a cover on it) on to suffer such a disgraceful end to it's life. I would have to disagree with people who say the screen is fragile, it took a reasonable degree of force to break the screen. Ah well time to contact Irex and start the path of getting it repaired and back to using the Sony for a few months. |

It's always fun to pay the extra 275 Euro for the repair.

I have returned to using my first electronic reader, the Sony 500 while I save up for either a repair or a new Illiad. I have to watch what I spend at the moment as I will be going to Hong Kong next month so long as my leave is approved. If Leave is denied (which would be reasonable given I just returned this week form two weeks leave) then I will use the money earmarked for flight to buy a new device.
However the Illiad was just the start of technology disasters, my MP 3 player broke down (in for repairs under warranty) then my mobile phone broke (it was out of warranty) and needed to be replaced I obviously dis something to incur the wrath of she who rules the world. Karen |

Yes. Enraged Shes Who Rule the World tend to smash things against the walls until they break.
But look on the bright side: If it was a He Who Rules the World he very probably would have punched you on the nose instead. Hmmm... realizing that there is a high toll the world pays in smashed things AND noses, I'd like to think of Them Who Rule the World as an old married couple, bickering the day away... Cheers, - Don [:-], sympathizing nonetheless with everyone who lost their iLiad screens (and other gadgets) to the circumstances described above... |
