I enthusiastically agree . This laptop is basically indestructible . While I ' ve owned it it has been dropped in the ocean and submerged for about twenty minutes , run over three times , and disappeared into three feet of mud which permeated it to the degree that it had to be left to dry for a week . After which the keyboard , battery , hard drive , and floppy drive were removed , it was blown out with an airhose , reassembled , and immediately put back into use . It is probably one of my favorite computers . Although , admittedly , I haven ' t used it in a while . <| sep |> I think the biggest complaint is that the 890 was only sold once before , for $ 600 . I wanted one , but adding $ 280 to the tag makes it unreasonable . I think for all the other ships , they have been available 50 times before , but not this one .
