Have you ever dropped your laptop and what were the effects?

I guess most of us have dropped our laptops at some point, I have a pretty bad track record with it in fact, perhaps because my flat is cluttered and I'm pretty disorganised. My first laptop a couple of years ago was an HP which fell off a cupboard which was about a metre from the floor, nothing was wrong with it initially but a few months later the motherboard packed up. I had exactly the same situation as the first (motherboard packing up) with my next laptop which fell out of a bag, now I've had a MacBookPro for just over a year and to my fury, I somehow knocked it off the arm of a sofa yesterday and it fell on the floor, made an almighty bang but fortunately there seems to be no damage. Does anyone else have experience with dropping a MacBookPro or another type of laptop?
