iBook + Broken Windshield Effect=Angry Stephanie

Posted on by

Well…the end has come. Let’s just say that the desktop on my beloved computer (her name is Savannah) is supposed to look like this:

Now, imagine it with a broken windshield spider-web effect right over the “X” of “X2.” Imagine Wolverine’s face spliced into several pieces by this “glass” (if you can bear the thought!) Imagine a few obnoxious green and red lines moving vertically over the left side of the screen.
I set my computer (in it’s bag, of course) on my chair yesterday. It fell off the back of the chair. I think the corner of my power adapter got smashed into the middle of my LCD monitor.
Now the torture…how long do I continue using it like this? Can I bear the thought of separating with her for three days while AppleCare attempts to repair her shattered face? Savannah is the only computer at my school on Panther…dare I switch to *gasp!* OS 9 for those dark days? Will I be forced to share a computer with Josh??? I mean…will I be forced to beg Josh for a few minutes of time on his computer (if any time remains)??? When will this nightmare end!?!

  1. Let me tell you something, bub. I don’t like having cracks on my face: I make ‘em on others, not on my own.
    Ummmm, I think I’d find a good time in the next week or so to get it fixed. The crack would bother me a lot, and if you can find a good time, you won’t have to use a crowbar to pry Josh away too much.

  2. I recommend sending it to the day spa in Texas in the beginning of the week. It has been my experience with Apple that they will get it back to right quick (usually 2 days) and if it takes a little longer you will for sure have it back in time for the weekend.
