Apple Is Giving Me A New Macbook Pro!

Apple Is Giving Me A New Macbook Pro! July 27, 2009

Yes, you read that right! And it has nothing to do with me being a blogger (sometimes I think I should have become a tech blogger- imagine that free samples of the latest gadgets to review!)

I told you at the end of last week that I had a Macbook breakdown. Well, I simply took the laptop into the Apple Store, dropped it off, and the next day I had a phone call. The logic board had died, I was told, and because I had AppleCare and they had previously replaced my logicboard several times already (faulty batch I guess?) they offered to give me a free brand new Macbook Pro instead!

I will miss my blackbook, but the aluminium unibody beckons enticingly!

They even helped me to rescue the file I needed from the hard disk (I stupidly forgot to store it in the area that is automatically backed up to the web!) and when the new machine arrives at the store they will transfer all my data and applications across from the hard disk of my old computer for me.

There is no way on earth that any PC company would do this for me. AppleCare rocks!

I have said it before, and I will say it again. I do not miss my PC-owning days. I have to use a PC regularly for work, and my only regret about jumping ship for my personal stuff is that I sometimes get confused (especially with the latest PC version of Microsoft Office which has changed all the menus around for some obscure reason)

Please pray for me this week for last minute flashes of inspiration for my book as I do the final tweaks of what will be the last major edit of my book in the limited spare time I have. This is also a very busy day-job week for me, and with the children off extra grace is required!
