I try to keep my electronics clean, hell I still have a Sony Cyber-shot 2.0 megapixels that works great, over 5 years old!

so if you ‘lost’ two laptops this year, how do you keep your data backed up? or did you just lose it all too?

It looks like you doubled John’s votes for him in about an hour by adding that widget, very nice Jeremy.

I picked up one of these bad boys on the weekend… water proof, shock proof, freeze proof.

I’m not too bad to my electronics but I did go through 1 cell phone this year.

I once sent my phone through the washing machine. It never was quite the same after that. I could make outgoing calls but the screen was broken and it didn’t ring for incoming calls, just voicemail alerts lol.

It looks like John Chow is rockin on the votes for the Ruff Laptop. He’s pulled into the lead by 1,000 votes.

I also seem to break any electronics I buy. Too bad most of the ones that do break are the expensive ones and the cheap ones I can’t seem to break them if I wanted to

You said “hard on”. Heh heh heh…

i hate stickers on laptops… maybe cause i had a powerbook first and then a mac book pro…

I’m pretty sure that a big spender like you don’t know Amazon’s price drop policy If the item you purchase on Amazon drops in price within 30 days, Amazon will return the difference to whatever method you paid with There are some people that go as far as a year and STILL receive the difference of over hundreds for electronics There is no limit either.

I dumped a whole mug of coffee on one of my laptops once and the damn thing survived. I dunno how. I took it apart, cleaned it and let it dry for like 3 days and it worked, except for the keys were a little sticky.

I also nearly lost a tv and a Wii remote to my 4 yr old son and Wii bowling! LOL

The world is in need of a company that specializes in making indestructible electronics products ranging from phones to laptops all under one roof. I think there are plenty of people who are sick of cheap plastic parts and would go for a rugged well made product.

Good to see you supporting John.. Jeremy

It was nice of you to help John out with winning the competition. It was definitely time for some heavy artillery since there is definitely something fishy about the main competitor having far too many votes compared to the traffic he is receiving.

I go threw 2 cell phones a year becuase I won’t put a leather case on them because I think it makes the phone look cheezy.
So the phone gets scratched up after awhile. like if I got keys in my pocked and scratches it.

Two laptops a year - nice work!

I think you and me are the same I have big problems with keeping out with my gadgets so I guess i would probably be where you are now see you at the end of year where me and you might be close buddies

That is really amazing with the numbers of laptops u have broken and lost, I will soon get my laptop next month.

well i got to take good care of my lap top and stuff. don’t have much money to play around. my first next buy for electronic have to be hand phone if it in the same category. and then digital camera. hopefully can buy of both them by end of this year.

Well Happy New Years man! And stop breaking all those electronics. I’m jealous now.

Happy New Year!…

My bad for not posting last two days; I ran out of bandwidth and so I couldn’t
But let me tell you that today, I have a hang-over like a dog! Maybe I should stop drinking…. Anyway I just find it interesting how everyone has made a “H…

John is gonna win this out and out.

Woo hoo!

Whew!!! pretty hard on gadgets huh??? Well my new years resoltuion was a bit unorthodox… I am clicking my own adsense in frustration because it only yields trinket amount… And google nearlyterminated me for that… So BE MORE PATIENT!!! THats my take… =)

Wow, you sure go through a lot of hardware
Just thought I’d mention, I decided to subscribe to your feed, and THANKS for the nice big shiny subscribe button! I often have to take a while to find that on other sites. Nice one.
Happy New Year!

Recently, I spilled coffee frying my keyboard…fortunately it was a desktop, so I only needed a new keyboard:.)

You know what,I got a same DC last week

Hi - I’m glad it’s not just me. I lose mobile phones all the time and I’ve gone through three laptops in one year!

I voted for the old Chow over on his blog, but voting for him again won’t really hurt.

Shame about your laptop getting pop all over it though, thats what I hate about them! Everything spills on them easily.

I knocked my wife’s laptop off a chair and there is a big black spot in the corner of the screen where you close applications. I promised to buy her a new laptop.

I feel your pain. I exposed the lens of my camera and destroyed my computer with a spilled drink. That’s a good resolution for next year.

Dude, how’d you get an SD1000 for $105? That’s pretty damn good.

yea screwing up or losing your electronics sucks. funny how you don’t seem too upset about it though lol.

throw the old stuff, buy a new one

I lose so many cameras that I decided to become an affiliate for some Sony products!

Im horrible on cell phones - Ive had 3 different blackberries in the last year

I would also like to know where you got a camera for that cheap…

But I hope I never break my current laptop, it’s a shiny new macbook pro.

Damn, how can you be so rough with your electronics.

I must be a sissy. I still have my 1.2 megapixel Canon PowerShot A100 that came out like 6 or 7 years ago. Maybe I should be rough on my stuff so that I can keep up to date!

Yea, it seems camera’s are getting cheaper and cheaper,

thats not a bad deal either

2 years ago I traveled nearly 200K miles on United for work. I went through 4 laptops, 6 briefcases and countless rollers. Last break they bought me a Tough book and though slower, at least I didn’t have to call from China with a broken laptop again!

Ive dropped my Canon Rebel Xti so many times and broke so many lens its ridiculous. Thank God for equipment insurance or Id be out couple grand.
