Japanese trains wait for no man.





Victim
Mr. Rubber Ducky of Okayama

Scene of Accident
Tenmanya underground connector passage

Broken Item
IBM WorkPad 8602-31J

Details of Accident
I had started DA TrainTime, and was hurrying to change trains. I missed a step o­n the stairs, and because of the momentum, the WorkPad in my left hand decided it could fly. Unfortunately the LCD landed mostly parallel to the ground, and I heard a "bang" sound. I carefully picked it up, and as you can see, the screen was broken.

More from the Contributor
Whether you want to call it a gleam of happiness in the sadness, or "that's IBM for you," I was able to use HotSync when I got home and synchronize all of my data. But, now that Sony has retired the CLIE line, what should I do to replace it..
