Finally got an AIR !!

Yes, I finally got an Air!! I have wanted one since they came out and I wish I didn't have to get one under these circumstances, but I didn't have much of a choice.

My former laptop's case, the first model with the Intel chip, had cracked. I actually noticed the crack after the Mac store replaced the white keyboard cover with a new one - it appears they tightened the screw too tight. (The first white models soaked up body oil and turned a nasty yellow, so last year, Apply replaced them.) I had gone in several times and showed it to them, noting that it was spreading but they seemed unconcerned. The beginning of January it had spread to the top, on the keyboard cover and a piece had come off. That was it - I went to the Mac store, showed them and they finally agreed they should fix it.

Dropped it off once the piece was in and was floored when they called and told me the interior was corroded! (actually speechless might be a better description) They said someone spilled something like coffee or soda on it. Well, the only time I EVER have any drink near it is when I am in class at Pepperdine and myself nor anyone around me had ever spilled a drink that I know of; at home it is a true laptop - didn't even have a desk until this past Saturday. Anyway, I tell them that, I even note that the keyboard seems fine. They tell me the liquid went down the BACK of the computer, into the little air slits. This makes it more strange -- I have NO IDEA how that happened!!! (I wondered if the Mac store is to blame, but the manager told me their repair area is a "dry" area. Still, it took them a week to call me about my computer, even though I am a Genius member. When I called to complain it was taking so long - they had initially quoted 24 hour turn around, this was before they discovered the corrosion, a manager told me the repair area apparently had personnel issues going on, so I still wonder.)

This past week while working on a big paper for school, the computer started having issues, so turned in the paper on Thursday night and Sunday went into my Mac store and bought one. (I used Friday and Saturday to catch up on my sleep and buy a desk. lol)

I love my AIR; still upset about my former laptop, but I had no choice but to abandon it. Now to just enjoy the good times! Yea - I have an Air!!
