[LM_NET] New Follett Scanners - do they break easily?

[Tish Carpinelli <carpinellit@LCMRSCHOOLS.COM>]

We just bought a few new Follett scanners for inventory ($399), and one of
our aides (an adult) dropped it today and broke off the plastic piece inside
the base that holds the screw that holds it together, so we can tape it up,
but that will be the only way it can be used. Has anyone else experienced
this? I've dropped them before, but nothing happened, and so has a colleague
of mine, who is considering buying the new ones, but if this is a problem,
maybe she shouldn't. Does anyone have any experience with the new models
breaking easily? TIA!
