Well you stuck to your guns and they got one to you like they should have. So we can't say they are one of the bad guys, they did the right thing.

I think we should dump that old Nike saying of "just do it"
The new one from now on will be "do the right thing"

I wonder if the machine that broke was also a rental that had many more hours on it? In which case, I think part of the rental agreement would be a replacement in case of failure.

But this should be a lesson to the new readers here - this is why you want a backup machine. And why you want a copy of your script. So you CAN buy a backup. Or travel machine. The last thing you want is for your good mask or machine to get lost or damage while traveling. Having the travel machine also helps to not forget things when packing.

Always carry your script when traveling too.
