Time to buy a lotto ticket…
Well, many Apple happenings today. The service centre replacing the dead HDD in my Macbook decided to go out of business without warning anyone, so now I’m looking at the new year before getting a functioning unit back.
This being pretty much a final straw, I investigated my consumer rights and kicked off the proceedings to get a refund from Apple - fun part is this will take some months also probably. Hooray for consumer protection.
As an additional kick while down, my backup laptop (a 12″ Powerbook) decided to eat my new Arrested Development season 3 DVD - made a munching noise, then decided that there was no DVD drive connected to the PC anymore. This is of course the Powerbook that has a battery in the famous recall, which I haven’t been able to send back while the other laptop is in the shop! Much woe is me…
