Well on my last fishing escapade the eeepc took a hit... as in crushed one of the hinges and broke the case around the power button. I bit the bullet and shipped it off to asus today. The only thing that concerns me is they were a little put off when I said they couldn't reformat my drive. I told them repeatedly that it was physical damage only and as such they didn't need to mess with anything else. We will see how this goes.
