After much procrastination, I’m about to tuck this precious laptop into a box and send it off to Memphis for 5-7 business days.
About one month ago, the small wonder started exhibiting a peculiar problem: intermittent and quite unexpected instantaneous shutdowns. After enduring random blink-outs as I searched the web for a reason, I nervously called Apple about a fix. Without hesitation, they admitted knowledge of a somewhat regular problem (even as they have avoided a complete recall, fueling fears of many). They assured me that continued use of the machine will not exacerbate the problem, so I’ve limped along by obsessively hitting ‘save’ as I write emails and blog posts for fear of (yet another) loss of data. But now, the time has come. I have every expectation that we’ll have our baby back in a few days, better than new. It’s just that our backup is an aging PC with spotty internet access, and I’m quite spoiled.

And you thought it was hard to give up coffee…
I feel for ya. My baby went down for a month. Had to use a Dell laptop loaner. Uh, so painful.
Be strong Mike. I’ve walked the same difficult path with my MacBook over the last month. I feel that I’m a better man for the experience.
