What if the machine gets lost or damaged?

You've invested in a platform that you now don't have the same kind of access to anymore.

I just checked eBay and found about 150 Pixelbooks, 17 of which are in "Open Box" (a.k.a., pretty much new) condition. I also found 12 refurbished 120GB Zunes. My brother still drives a perfectly functional Pontiac G8, and he has no trouble finding parts for it when he needs to.

You either can either move on to the current-generation technology or buy an old working gadget from someone else. You're never without good options.
