I'm surprised a genius would fix a "THIRD PARTY PRODUCT" problem...
I think that it was more of a challenge than anything. The Geniuses denied knowledge of the fan control program which was either good acting or odd. I do like to have the creases in my clothes not be ironed out by my MBP. Not to mention the second degree burns on my thighs.
I did finally see the new MB and MBP's. The local Worst Try (Best Buy) doesn't have them out yet. I guess I wasn't as smitten witht hem as I thought I might have been. Is it my imagination or do the new ones open farther than the older ones? The rubber gasket was a surprise. Not liking the keyboard, although it was quite a fashion statement.
Having all of the ports on one side isn't a plus in my opinion. I liked the idea of being able to plug in my old wireless mouse dongle on the right side. Having the slot on the right seems good. You would think that putting a USB port on the right wouldn't have been a huge deal. My HP notebook, that is the bastard child and doesn't get taken many places lately, has the tray loader and two USB ports on the right side.
The 17" MBP's were set apart from the sexy new MB and MBP's. Near the oddly placed white MB. I looked for a black MB as a potential travel notebook (in case the department of Fatherland Suckerity decides they need it more than I do) and didn't see one.
I thought it would be love at first sight with the new MBP and that I'd grab one and dash out the door trailed by register receipts and a worried credit card company but I was able to fight the urge. Odd.
But all was good... Thanks to the Hagrid-esque 'Unic guru', all is well with my current system.
Was this a Unix problem? I don't know. I did get another glimpse of the Unix beast lurking under the sexy OS X exterior. The psychopathic person that no one suspects, until the neighborhood cats disappear... Now Time Machine won't backup my iMac... *SIGH* Why is everything apparently needing attention now...
Caffeine syndrome has set in...
I also did have a LONGER post that the timeout ate. No snickering and snarky comments...
I left the wiser, as always, and my psychopathic/sociopathic MBP has been put back right. ProCare showed its worth yet again...
Oh, one thing else, I really found the magsafe connector of the new MBP very compelling. I looked for the power supply seperate. I often use mine in bed and find the perpendicular nature of the current magsafe rather a bother to keep connected. Having it at an angle (and beefed up) is a fantastic idea. I'll have to look when they come out separately...
