@drkknits Lightweight. I’m lucky to get it under 1000. (Metafilter contributes a lot of that though!)
@L4Designs Hahaha, no way. @venks79 got me in at Mobileactive 18months ago, and we pulled in @kunaal84 3months ago. Way better!
Apple’s website shows my repair as finished… but they haven’t actually called or emailed. Can I just turn up and get it, I wonder?
@stufromoz I did. AppleCare dude confirmed it’s ready. Oddly, then got call from Service 2min later. Maybe AC called them out for slacking?
MacBook with new hard drive and trackpad is home, and Snook is doing his magic!
Migration from old dying hard drive is proceeding… slowly. (Snook scoffs at Apple Genius who said he’d never get anything off it.)
MacBook is completely back to normal. Moral of the story: Always, ALWAYS get AppleCare for your laptop. Well worth it.
@codepo8 Snook had 2nd interview today! Met with Sebastian. Seems to be going well… 🙂
@squozen I don’t think you would’ve had as easy a time finding and installing a new trackpad. I didn’t say the repair was ONLY the HD… 🙂
@squozen And yes, yes, MOM. I don’t have anything critical on here; it was mostly just to save time. Time Machine backups commencing.
@squozen I’ll concede you are exception to AC rule. But 90%+ of people – inc me – don’t want or care to DIY computers. That’s what $ is for!
@DDsD ThinkGeek, of course. http://bit.ly/4YRCXJ (Or if you can find the dots, you can commission me to knit you some.)
@squozen So would Snook. But that sounds like work to me, time/attention/effort I’d rather not spend if I can avoid!
Yes, I know my site isn’t working properly. DB is refusing connections. Waiting for QuadraHosting to restart Apache…
Sites are back up. Thank you Quadrahosting!
Yesterday’s 15min head start has turned into 15min behind today. Are trains down? Everyone’s cramming on slow-moving buses.
@Opheli8 The very best day of the week!
8-Bit Twilight Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Game: http://youtu.be/kd-21k_BSFQ AWESOME. Way better than the movie will be, even for haters.
