I use a tablet a lot, shifting read only things off the desktop in effect, 
and I'm surprised it hasn't broken yet.  I doze off and the tablet falls 
to the ground.  Though, my mother did destroy an iPad some eyars back, I 
enver heard the full story but she must have dropped it and badly.  Either 
that or someone stepped on it.  She used it a bit, and the glass was 
cracked among other things.
