Yesterday afternoon, I discovered that my Apple MacBook Pro power adapter had melted and frayed on the end with the MagSafe adapter. Immediately, I telephoned AppleCare not knowing if they were even open on Saturdays. I was surprised to get an answer. Because this was a safety issue, the lady on the phone (Sarah) told me hot to use it and transferred me to a product specialist (Devin), who then had me follow a safety script that included questions like, Did I feel any discomfort or get injured by the product, and Was any personal property damaged as a result of this problem. It was interesting. All in all, Apple will replace it for me for free. This makes it the third time I had contacted Apple and had the successfully replace parts for me for free. (Two separate battery incidents prior to this one.) My $400 AppleCare extended warranty is really paying off! Alas, I am without a computer to use as the MBP's battery life sucks. A lot.
I take it as a sign for me to really start studying and to stop procrastinating by going online. Unfortunately, I have with me an iPod touch, and it is more than adequate to get me to my music, movies, e-mail, calendar, and Internet. I do not know if that is a good thing or a bad one. Heh.
