As previously noted in this space, things were not-so-rosy in the land of MacBooks – I think my Bad Customer Service/Technology Mojo kicked in and delivered unto me a substandard MBP. However, things are looking rather decidedly up, as Amazon allowed us to cancel my initial order, send the broken MacBook back and get a replacement one sent out ASAP, which is due to arrive tomorrow. *fingers crossed*
In a small bit of wonderful technological irony, I had thrown the original shipping box out and so a coworker and I had to search for a similarly-sized box to ship the MBP back in. The only boxes that would fit it were… Dell monitor boxes. Betcha Apple will love getting that RMA. *grin*
