Tonight after dinner, due to a combination of over-tiredness and a momentary flash of insanity, Frankie decided to push the powerbook off the arm of the sofa sending it down to the unforgiving fake hardwood floor. We witnessed the horror from only a few feet away in what felt like super slow motion. I would have guessed an object the same size and weight as my powerbook would have hit the floor and wobbled around for a few seconds like a quarter, instead it landed on the corner housing the battery, paused for a split second and fell flat with a discomforting slap.

It seems to work fine, and it was closed so there was no damage to the display, but the base is a lot more um, bent than I like. Fortunately the bent section on the front right side is where the battery is stored and the weakest portion of the computer, so hopefully it won't affect any of the other more important components. I don't suppose a fix could be downloaded from apple for this? Or maybe I can get her to push it off the sofa arm once more, coaxing it to fall on the opposite side to bend it back into place. I'll weigh my options as I back up the hard drive.
