Let me tell you guys the story of why I feel the way I do about this. Laura and I have a family friend who got pregnant with her husband. They were so happy. Did everything right. The mother was overweight when she got pregnant and developed gestational diabetes (I'm unsure if that contributed to what eventually happened). They went the entire 8.5 months with everything being fine. Got their last checkup before giving birth and the baby had passed away. No real cause given as far as I know. When this happens so close to birth, you still need to give birth the baby even though it isn't alive anymore. This isn't a news story, it's a person I know.
As much as something like this would change me forever (and I really mean forever), I don't think my fear is for myself but rather for Laura. I can't give birth for her. I can't do any of it for her. If something happens I'll be powerless to stop it. That sort of thing.
If we were to suffer a loss, I would still be grateful and full of joy because I got to see, feel, hear and speak to my baby girl, even though she is unborn she has change us forever. The promise of her life no matter how long it will be,for me, surpasses the fear of her death.

@Romo I feel you man. I also think that when my daughter starts dating I may need to kill a young man or two. Assuming I have a daughter (or any child).

I was considering renting a minivan for the weekend for visiting guests, but they want like $175 a day. For a minivan. Insane.

@Minion-Queen I told my boss they're a hardware nightmare. But, the execs want something lighter than the M4800s we've been getting...

We use it for testing we have a client with so many issues with them we frequently test here to figure out the issue.

Are they still? Paul Thurrott has been reporting that MS has resolved most if not all of the problems with the Surface pro 4 and the Surface Book.
The Surface Pro 3 currently is having a battery problem, not sure if it's the batteries themselves or a software issue, thought MS has been quoted as saying they think they can fix it in software.

When we evaluated the SP2, the brand new demo was DOA. I just don't trust it.

One problem about the Surface Pro is that they glued that damn thing like an iPad / Android tablet. iFixit got some reviews about this. Hard to replace or upgrade parts.

@Dashrender I'm not sure if they are/aren't gonna be checking them out for myself first hand but I'll post my experiences.

I'm sorry, was there a question there?
The Surface line, like most phones today, were not meant to be user serviceable. If that's a requirement, then you need to look else where. But for most people, they would never consider taking apart their huge easy to work on desktop computer, let alone a $900 Surface device.
