Get this: I rode my mtn bike to uni most days when I was doing honours last 
year with my duo in my back pack. no problem. on the days i drove to work
i'd take in my briefcase. After getting to work one day I opened my 
briefcase, pulled out the duo and opened it up to a shattered but still in
place display screen. you bastard.

but it still works if you plug another monitor into it. need a mini-dock.
or you can plug it into a real dock. or you can use it as a portable hard disk
in scsi disk mode. but I think I'd rather use my shiny new 5300.

i like the 5300. mine has some problems, but I've been living with them until
i reckon i've discovered all of them - then i'll take it in and make sure 
every one of them is fixed.

*sound crackles some times.
*power manager cant keep track of battery charge which results in instant
 sleeps because you didnt actually have any power left at *all*.
*disk drive is getting file errors on disks that work fine on other macs

But I got it for US$1099 while i was in usa. so while i've still got a warranty
i'm happy.
