well, i must have jinxed myself. when people were talking about how great apple's support is, i jokingly mentioned "heh, with that kind of support, almost makes me wish i had something broken to send in!" welllllllll, go figure. yesterday while sitting with my ibook on my lap, the display dimmed down (like it does when you aren't using it) however i WAS using it...and when i moved the mouse around, it didn't kick back on for a second...then it did......started fading in and out, to a point where it would actually turn off, then come back on....now I'm using it hooked up to an external CRT, the LCD will come on when i brighten it sometimes, and sometimes i can push the button till my finger is numb, and it stays off....but if i fold the screen back/forth, it'll flicker on. seems to me its a loose connection of some sort..kinda strange it'd do this out of the blue, its not like i dropped it on the ground and then it started flickering.......tho i did actually once knock it off my futon on to the ground...didn't land hard, it landed on a sweatshirt, only fell about 3/4 of a foot) I'm waiting on hold with apple support now....... i could only hope to get the same support the other two did..this is my main computer, and without it I'm going to be internet-less aside from the glorious text based world of my linux box (server) which will allow me to basically IRC and use some console based AIM client....i dont even have pine configured to take my ISP email! :/ woah is me..
