A day after signing up and the paranoia begins.

Shelved.

My computer has been out of my possession for well over a month now, and I except it back next Monday.

It was great, those repairers first said they found nothing wrong, then I brough it to the car, it failed, and I brought it back in. 4 weeks later, I find that they had to replace the CPU, the cooling system, and part of the case, because it was touching the motherboard in ways it should not.

I would have fixed it myself, save for the fact that it is a laptop, and my expertise on laptops is fairly limited.

That, and I knew the CPU was having an issue, and one this particular model, it was soldered to the board. Groan.

How they went from "nothing is wrong" to replaceing nearly everything, I really can't imagine...

Those hentaish casings, I knew it was eyeballing at the MB in an odd fashion the MB did not approve...

Not crossing fingers because there are more interesting things than defcon (google for ICPC).

Xander : have 2machines, end of problem

I have two machines. One is a blue and white G3, the other is a PowerBook G4. However, Wendryn just got a raise, so we may be getting an Intel PowerBook soonish (I refuse to call it a MacBook -- it just sounds so... stupid).
