Apple Wins Again

Last night, the ‘e’ key on my Mac Book Pro 15″ (Core Duo 2.2 ghz) broke. The little pivot on the bottom cracked. I don’t have a problem with it having broken, I have a problem with getting the consulting work I need to do this weekend done without an e key.

Last night, I scheduled a Genius Bar appointment at 11:40am today. This morning at 10am, I called to make sure they had the part that I needed and they assured me that it was very easy to take one off of the broken ‘donor’ computers that they keep on hand in the store if they didn’t have an actual new one. I jumped in the car. An hour and a half later, I pull in at 11:35 and check in to the store. I’m seen right at 11:40, and out the door by 11:45 at no cost, with no paperwork to sign, and with a perfectly working laptop for the holiday weekend (which will be spent work,work,working away.)
