Dec 01, 2008 00:19 | #1 I was sitting in an inflatable Bud Light chair tonight editing pictures from a shoot this evening. Set my laptop on the floor in front of me and used the sides of the chair to lift myself up. Somehow, my left foot caught the leg of the tripod that was standing next to me and forced it down on top of the laptop's LCD screen. Manfrotto owners beware! Apparently the tripods have it out for the laptops!  Eric Gear List

Congrats on the new Mac though. Coincidentally, I also got a Mac to replace the broken laptop. Maybe Apple and Manfrotto are in cahoots.
