My P45+ was a service issue, and my Leica also needs a service visit, I believe, which it won't get because it's just too expensive. Dropping a column means you have a line right through your image, its more than a minor irritation.

Edmund ol' boy.
For a tech head you had more problems with a digital back and camera than anyone I've known.
I've flown a gazillion miles with all my equipment and never had a dropped "line" or any other problem.
I routinely carry 30 terabytes of data also and knock on silicone I've never had an issue either, except when TSA smashes something.
But, you remind me of a digital tech I use to use (emphasis on use to) that every time I talk to him he has a computer blow up, screen break, motherboard short, etc. etc. etc.
But Edmund, maybe you should stick with film, try polaroid.
