Man, that stinks. I felt really bad after putting a scratch on my expensive new sports watch within 4 days but at least I didn't get glass in my head. (The banana is another story.)
We had an iMac at my last job which had its glass cracked by being hit against something while being moved. The boss picked up a cheap monitor, switched on display mirroring and turned the computer towards the wall. Not sure if he had a repair quote or simply assumed it'd be too expensive.
