OK, back from the 'Geniuses' at Apple-- who claim this is an unusual problem...
But, turns out my 1 yr warranty expires on Feb 2, so they'll send it in and "hopefully" it will get fixed and sent back. And, coincidently, they talked me into purchasing Applecare. Seeing how I'm so close to Feb 2 and not guaranteed a fixed unit, it seemed the prudent thing to do. Stephen, yes, you are correct-- I didn't purchase Applecare for a laptop-- it's not my primary machine and mostly justs sits in the corner turned off. I (incorrectly) surmised I wouldn't have problems. I did purchase 'insurance' for a previous laptop from CompUSA. When a hard drive failed, I took it in and they took well over 30 days to fix it. So long in fact I had to go out and purchase a new laptop-- so, I'm a bit off the whole insurance thing. My current Sony doesn't have it-- and after a couple years the display exhibited a bad column of pixels. I bought a new display online ($225) and Chris and I put it in ourselves. Much less than what the insurance would've cost. Now, all that said-- props out to Apple for even having a store with 'Geniuses' who can fix stuff. Sony, Dell, HP or anyone else doesn't have it. It does give one a bit more confidence, especially seeing how overly helpful the Geniuses tend to be-- I think they replace more than they need to. And-- Applecare isn't that expensive either-- $250 for my Laptop for 3 years. Not bad. Even thought Chris wants to know if I 'serve cheese with my wine', I'm hoping this turns out OK. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
