My first Apple lemon.
It's back with Senco, our accredited supplier of
all things Mac.
I brought it (and the PowerBook G4, which needed a letter N and a command key - at 200 pesos each) to their office this morning, thinking I would get it back within the day, possibly with one of the RAM chips replaced or tightened in place, or something. That didn't happen. They called in the afternoon to tell our IT person that the unit itself was defective and that they would replace it.
Their new shipment of MacBook Pros arrives tonight. One of those will not be a lemon, I hope, and will find its way to me, and will not inflict any more spinning beachballs of death on my (now shaken) unquestioning trust in Macaronia.
