I ordered my first revB 12” at the beginning of October, which like quite a lot of you here took ages to get to me. When I eventually got my hands on what has to be the most beautifully designed packaging it has ever been my pleasure to open, I removed my powerbook to find that the case was severely twisted.
I spoke to apple about it they offered me a straight swap for a new one which I was happy to do. I backed up a few documents, packed the powerbook back into its beautiful box and sent it away.
After waiting for another couple of weeks a nice shiny new powerbook arrived on my door step (and wow! This one had Panther)I started happily using this one enjoying the new features in Panther. But alas after a few days, a system crash and a power down my 2nd powerbook was totally dead, no power at
This dead powerbook was sent away to what I thought was a repair company, 5 days later I had a phone call from the company telling me that my powerbook would not turn on and had no power (‘really I didn’t know that!’) and that it would have to be sent to a repair company which could take a long time, but they offered me the option of a replacement. I accepted the offer of replacement and dutifully awaited powerbook 3’s arrival.
That was two weeks ago.
Today I received a phone call from my parents (who I do not live) saying that it had been delivered there today, so I will not be able to get hold of it for a while now
Not sure how apple managed to do this, as I’ve had six products delivered to the address that I currently live at with no problems.
I’m starting to feel like I’m not meant to own a powerbook now
I hope that when I finally get my hands on this one that it is fully functional!
Oh I’ve also managed to get an iPod with a defective docking cradle
Just wonder if anyone else out there is having the same bad luck as me??
