my apple story, continued
well, the new pb didn't get here from china in time for my trip next week, so i trotted down to the apple store in soho, old pb in hand and my receipt. they exchanged my old pb for a new one, no probs. and oh, becuase i was told yes, they had the combo drive version in stock, but actually that was wrong, would i take a super drive model instead?
sure. apple rocks.
oh and whoever asked, that two-finger scrolly thingie on the track pad is su-weeet

No restocking fee? What happens to the one in transit? Where are you travelling to?

no restocking fee. they "took care" of it becuase of the delay in getting me the orig new machine i ordered via the web. the one in transit is being re-routed back to apple.

didn't I post a link to sidetrack up here? i understand if you still want a new PB, but you can have scrolling on your current track pad. it rocks!
I just installed it. It seems to work well. I need to give it some time to get used to it. I also set up expose as a hot corner, I never think about using it, but love it when I remember. Hopefully as a hot corner I will learn to use it more.

Which part? Sidetrack is scrolling for older powerbooks.
Expose is the ability to see all open windows at once (and some other options) by hitting the F9 key or you can go to your system preferences, choose expose and set a corner of the screen to active, and it will active expose or a screen saver, etc, when you drag your mouse or trackpad pointer to the designated corner.
If you have not tried it, it is super cool when you have a lot of windows or open images to get where you want to quickly.

Adding memory yourself doesn't void the warranty, or Apple Care, correct? I'm going to suppliment my 12" PB with a 20" iMac G5. Don't want to spend Apple's price for an extra 1G of memory. One for the road, one for PS work at home.

no, unless you stick your screwdriver where it doesn't belong
i bought a gig from crucial.com and it's about 30 seconds to install it. i'd even trust my caddie to do it

When I spoke to the Apple guys, they didn't seem to have a problem installing your
own memory. But I didn't ask in the context of third party memory.
My past experience has been that if you do have a problem, you'd need to reconfigure
the machine to match what's covered under the warranty before asking for help.
In practice, I haven't ever had to remove components unless sending the item in
for repair. Please keep in mind my experience is not with Apple.

Reliable yes, but hypersensitive.
