Ouch, baaad luck...

I do appreciate how lucky I was - the 'thunk' as it hit didn't sound good
at all... The broken off part of the screen (first I saw as I opened the
case) made my feel queasy until I could see the entire screen and the
quite limited damage that had been done. And when it booted right up
and played just like before it felt a lot better...

Hmmmmmm, why did the text show up in black..?. Let's see if tagging it helps...

BTW, thanks to all that pointed out the Pelican case, it
looks like the empeg would fit into a 1200 case with a centimeter or two
to spare on each side, I'm not worried about carrying the cables.

Now, to find a retailer that carries them (and how many times more
expensive it is over here... sigh...)
