By "that" I mean the FedEx driver try and hurl my new Mac Mini onto the top shelf in his van.

By "try" I mean "clonk, fall, fall, fall... wham!"

There was no visible damage, so I took the risk and accepted the delivery.

This probably happened 20 times to it already anyways. I just didn't want to see it.

Its like walking in on your daughter and their boyfriend*

You know its probably happened 20 times, you just really don't want to know for sure :-).



*I have no firsthand experience with this other than being that boyfriend once or twice :-).

I took mine in to get the ram upgraded a few years ago, I watched an intern with a putty knife try to open it for 10 minutes until I called his boss over, the boss opened it immediately and with such force he dropped it on the desk.

5 years later it still works perfectly.

When I got my MBP, the FedEx man told me that he was extra careful because he knew it was an Apple product, ha ha.

The only clue this was an Apple product (or even something fragile) was that the visible portion of the packing slip was in Myriad.

I thought he just meant because it was expensive.
