Apple has failed to get back to me since my last contact with them. I even gave them a call back and the customer rep said that she failed to get a hold of My Mac Dealer and that she was waiting for a call back since she left them a message. It’s been over a week and I have a good feeling that they’ve either dropped my case or that service rep completely forgot about it. I do have to admit that I was expecting something similar to happen. I’m going to take the advice that tech from My Mac Dealer said and wait out a month or two before submitting my MBP for a logic board swap.
Nevertheless, there are some good news! My girlfriend has purchased a brand new MacBook! I’m very excited for her and even a little jealous since she has the 2.0 GHz with 1GB of ram. Her specs are better than mine since Apple silently upgraded all the MBP several weeks ago and mine lingers behind as a 1.83 GHz. I recommended that she get the extra ram as I’m planning to do the same; 512 MB has become a standard for a while now and I wouldn’t be surprised if Leopard, the next Mac operating system, was a lot more resource demanding. She also got the student deal with a free iPod nano. I have made my first converter!
