Heya,
Two things of interest:
1. My Macbook is fixed. I went to the new Apple Store in Fair Oaks Mall and left it overnight while they replace the hard disk and reinstalled OS X. While I had Tiger (v10.4.something), they installed Leopard (v10.5.2).
2. During my 5-6 month of Mac downtime, my Macbook's battery went south for the winter. After following the steps in the manual and help pages at Apple.com, I finally realized it was really dead. Fortunately, the Genius replaced it under warranty.
3. My wife now has a late rev Macbook. Hers outspecs mine across the board, with the exception of my system's SuperDrive...her hard drive is bigger, she has more system RAM, and she has a 2.1GHz CPU while mine is a 2.0GHz CPU (both systems are dual-core). She won this system at a PTO raffle. She bought my daughter's whole book of raffle tickets, just to help her out then the following week, my kids came home excited, saying that the previous Friday, my wife's ticket was drawn. Later that day, my wife got a call from the school office telling her she actually won two drawings, one the laptop and the other a $25 coupon for use at The Cheesecake Factory.
So, I can do two things: back up this install of Leopard ASAP onto an external drive, or just buy Leopard (if I have to reinstall the OS, I'll have to revert back to Tiger, since my system disks are Tiger.
I'm going to have to redo my iTunes setup and reconfigure the laptop...this will be fun, especially since I'll be doing new stuff (learning Leopard).
Fun times!!
