Complains of Palmtops' fragility

I have been working with HP palmtops since I bought the HP 95LX in 1992. Since then I have been a real fan of the 95LX, the 100LX, and the 200LX because of their extraordinary usefulness and practicality.

However, I've had to exercise my warranty to repair the rupture of the right hinge that joins the screen and the keyboard, and to repair broken cover latches on both my 95 and 100.

I wondered whether I was the only guy with "bad luck," or whether I was doing something wrong. Then I noticed on page 28 of "Best Palmtop Tips 1996" a method for repairing broken latches. It seems I'm not the only one!

Believe me, I'm very careful with my palmtops, and I've never dropped or banged them. I'm disappointed that these mechanical parts are so fragile.
