I am not following this. Why would a "black slab" copy machine be more inclined to get knocked over than, say, a white slab copy machine, or whatever? And, if it did get knocked over, what sort of litigation would result? On what theory? I do get really tired of the constant whingeing over attorneys. We guys do more to protect your rights than you recognize, so learn a bit about the way the legal system operates before making gratuitous slams at the occupations of others.
