Last week I wanted to show how an iPad could work with a wireless keyboard, so I took my keyboard to work. I brought it back in a bag, wrapped up.
Unfortunately ... (sounds like the Bricklayer story) ... it was quite late when I got back, and I let it slip from the padding I'd put round it when I took it out of the bag - not very high up - and it fell on my Squeezebox Boom.
Result - the keyboard now has a small dint at the back right. The Boom now has a dented speaker grille!
Does this sort of thing ever happen to anyone else? !!!
The keyboard is easy enough to live with - it's pretty minor, and the unit is functional. Anyway, the keyboard was "only" around £50., and most people wouldn't notice unless I told them.
The Boom is just a bit sadder, as the grilles don't look easily replaceable, and I'm not sure if Logitech would fix it anyway.
So - in similar situations, what would you do?
1. Nothing - just accept it and carry on.
2. Find someone to blame, and claim a new one on the insurance.
3. Find an artist friend, and splatter paint over the article in question, to produce a personalised work of art.
4. Buy a new one.
5. Try to get it fixed.
6. Dismantle it, and try to fix it yourself.
7. Other ....
I can live with it, but just slightly sad. I'm sure we must all have stories like this one.
