If I was any other type of person I would probably have taken today as karmic revenge. I found out my new powerbook replacement is being shipped 27th feb, not what I would call priority one treatment considering this is the same time it took originally – although the last one obviously didn’t get any quality control. I consider this ironic as one of the (now many) arguments against my purchase of the macbook pro was the long shipping time. Looks like people will get theirs before me. I do however, stand by my decision for several reasons including the non commitment of adobe on univesal binaries and my not overly great luck that has already been proven with this powerbook saga… just imagine what a rev A machine would end up with my luck. So, all I can do is wait and then the fun game of compensation begins… oh what joy (never done compensation before so bit of new experience for me, so far along lines of bashing head against wall).
The further irony as I finally take the plunge with a powerbook and there seem to be a few virus finally for macs – anyone trying to tell me something? I did utter the words that I could have got a pc (infact built it by now) and then found myself (despite what I have so far been through) saying nope want the powerbook me want. I am still punting for the old good things come to those who wait. Once it arrives it looks like it will be about 5 weeks in the waiting so better be worth it!
