Fix my iBook, bitch.

In a few moments my iBook will probably be super-ceeded by something incredibly cheap and powerful. So for the time I still have left to feel I own something half-decent i’ll talk about my macs trip to the vets. As i’ve mentioned before there’s no shortage of staff at the apple store, as I entered the sweet smelling ikea clad store the staff all ran over each other trying to get to me “he’s mine!” “No! I saw him first!”. I just marched past them all to the “Genius bar” and slapped my iBook on the desk and grabbed a stool doing my best clint impression. Now things started to get a little surreal, I’m used to having to argue my case in PC stores, having to explain that it isn’t too much to ask to expect something to be repaired when it’s under warranty. But at Apple I showed them the slight skewed display and straight away he said “Oh we’ll take the whole screen off and attach a new one, we’ll have to order one in, if you’d like you can bring it back in when we have to part and we’ll fix it whilst you wait. That way you won’t be without it for days.” I was actually speechless, you just don’t expect service like that from PC companies. And this isn’t the expensive warranty, just he bog standard freebie! And it was my fault that it’s broken, though obviously I didn’t tell them that. lol. What a pleasant trip.

UPDATE: Phew, looks like there isn’t a new iBook after-all. It’s a new intel iMac and an all new replacement for the powerbook called the revenge of the macbook 2097 or something. Either-way, they’re things i couldn’t have afford anyway.
