I took the MacBook Pro to Apple Store on Thursday hoping to get it fixed. “They’re probably not going to do anything with it” said the Genius, repeatedly. Yeah, right. Well, the logic board was replaced. I’m happy to say that my MacBook Pro is now whine free (on AC and battery).

Happiness is a brand spanking new überly cool 40 GB iPod! Those firewire ports on my Blue & White were catching dust. Through the years I never did find any use for them, until today. The speed is amazing! I synchronized my iTunes library of 9 GB in less than a hour. Now what to do with the other 31 GB? Backup my home folder, of course!
