She totally confused all the passing piranhas…

October 20th 2006 in Journal

This actually happened yesterday, which makes it all the more cool. For those keeping score, that’s less than four days, round trip, to get repaired (from VA all the way to CA and back). Apple had it for more than two weeks and couldn’t find anything wrong with it. TechRestore had it less than twenty-four hours and was calling me with a diagnosis and estimate. They got it fixed that same day and shipped, and I had it back in my hot little hands yesterday. That, to me, just absolutely rules. AppleCare Protection Plan? No thanks.

Lumpy is back home and working like he was brand new. Woo!

So on anything more’n $300, I’ll still get one from apple.

I can’t imagine spending that kind of money on an apple.
But then again, I also don’t eat oranges or wear name brand clothing.

Sometimes I wish she was you…

So, TechRestore just called. The hard-drive in my iPod is dying. Funny how Apple couldn’t figure that out. I really seriously wonder whether Apple looked at it at all in the two weeks they had it. When I got it back from Apple, it wasn’t even in working condition: the battery was completely drained, and [...]
