God I hope it's not too long waiting for parts or anything. Or that the time without it has been completely futile ("call us if it actually *does* melt metal." ).<br />At least it's not post-christmas. I'd be queued behind sundry iPods and Christmas Macs.<br /><br />Update : I got a message that there is a new Logic Board on order.

An ultraportable 11.1" sized laptop with matching pink leather-covered mouse and a carry bag.<br />I wonder how good all of these leather covered laptops are going to look after a couple of years of wear and tear and greasy fingers, but my Mac-loving self could definitely picture carrying this around. Running Ubuntu of course.<br />It's $2,500 US .. so, iCovet. And the battery life is a weeny 2 hours, so this probably doesn't work as a PDA replacement.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10454084-116255189620421183?l=neophile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kris The Grumpyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01521509435297535731noreply@blogger.com0
