I'd like to thank Fred Martin for his postings on his cracked PB 100
saga. It scared me into being even more careful with mine.

Much as I like my 100 (small size, acceptable speed, nice ergonomics, etc.),
I am worried about Apple's quality control.

My 100 has been back to the repair center in Texas _twice_ for the same
problem (for those who are interested: the charger wasn't charging the
battery, the full-empty indicator was bouncing around, etc. Both times
Apple swapped in a new logic board, all covered by my warranty).

One of the tilt-up feet broke within weeks of purchase...I hear this is 
a common problem (and that Apple has fixed it in new units).

The 100 does not seem to be holding up as well as I'd hoped. Your tale of
the cracked case reinforces this feeling I have.

Sad
