  • Words Fail me

    Just when I think the Japanese cannot surprise me any more, they go and do something like:

    They make an aerobics video that teaches you how to be properly mugged, in English. (And for dads, there’s the gratuitous breast zooms during the exercise sequences – although sometimes they miss and zoom on the shoulder.)

    MacBook Status

    So sad, so sad.

    My Macbook was dropped off at the Apple store on the 7th, apparently arrived at the repair center on the 9th… and there it sits, awaiting a new logic board.

    What sort of repair center is that? They should have major parts at the repair center, that’s just common sense. I’ve negotiated enough computer maintenance contracts to know that you always have a specified “parts depth” – that is, you’ve got certain inventory levels, and they you have reliable access with timely guarantees for the other components, based on criticality and frequency of repair need.

    2 days for any part being delivered to a “repair center” is too long.

    Gripe, gripe, gripe… I want my Macbook back. Using the iBook just isn’t the same.

    Of course… the iBook works
