# Drop Testing a Toshiba Tablet

[Ouch!](http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/2005/02/02.html#a9309)

I have never dropped a laptop, but I have caught my eldest prying the keys off a Toshiba Tecra 8100. Ever had to put the keys back on a laptop? When you are ham-handed like I am...it was a two-hour curse-fest with the ZenWife laughing at me, scolding the boy and grimacing at my language -- simultaneously.

One of the shift keys was never quite the same.

Then two years later, I found his younger brother doing the same thing to another Toshiba Tecra 8100.

Ok, [this story](http://www.geeknewscentral.com/archives/003721.html) is better.
