If you dislike it, change your bad behavior. Every single post you make has tons of empty lines that people must actively trim whenever they reply to you. It's rude. It's stupid.

No permanent damage. The unit is all done with screws, not glew, so nicely maintanable. Newer units, being more compact, may be less maintainable, but you should see in iFixit when they do the teardown.
