In response to Wayne Thompson's PC-4 queries:

> # of times it can actually be drop kicked

Under normal, abnormal, subnormal, and supernormal conditions, it
appears that the PC-4 can withstand the number of drop kicks that add
up to the force of one of Drago's punches in Rocky IV.

> Under what conditions you carried out the test

I had just royally screwed up an important Calculus exam.  It was a
rainy day, about 73 degrees F, with a relative humidity of 93% and a
barometer reading of 30.45 mm.  The Dallas Cowboys had recently lost a
crucial game in which $10 of my savings was also lost.  My horoscope
for that day said that I would try to destroy my pocket computer.

> The failure exhibited

It quite rudely began to make comments about the legality of my birth,
the recreational activities of my mother, and my level of
intelligence.  That last one really set me off, so I proceeded to
electrocute the little monster.  After finally begging for mercy, it
hasn't given me any problems since, and my Calculus exams have been
coming back with perfect scores, a pleasant side-effect.  I intend to
notify Radio Shack about this peculiar hardware bug.
