yay! booky is back!

after nearly a month of waiting, i went to the apple store to pick up my replacement laptop. booky is certainly happy after his facelift! with the help of 3 great guys at the apple store, i was able to pick up a unit they had in stock rather than waiting until the one they ordered for me arrived (which was expected to arrive on march 30). i spent most of today doing a clean install on the old unit and then getting everything installed and configured on the new one. as expected, the mag safe connector is da bomb. the screen really is a little brighter. the backlit keys are nifty too. i certainly wouldn't want to go through all of the hassle and repairs that i had to go through for this to all work out how it did, but i did manage to get a really nice machine in the end.

oh yeah, i'm feeling better today. i'm still not back to normal yet (was i ever normal?), but i am improving!
