I'm intrigued by the characterization of problem being due to foam supports. Someone who knows a repair facility well enough needs to take a picture of the innards of the screen. My spots are definitely getting worse, though at a slower pace tha…

Quote: Originally posted by ast3r3x Some of you said you had your PowerBooks replaced. How long did it take. I will send mine back to have my latch fixed in a month or so, but I would like an idea of how long I have to go without it. If the…

Quote: Originally posted by Neandertal My PB came back last Friday and had spots again by Tuesday. I called AppleCare with the intent just to make sure they recorded that the spots are back, not with the intent to send it back in right away. …

Quote: Originally posted by McCrab With the development of xGrid, what makes you think that they don't already have a sizeable cluster? Like someone else said, they do have showcases: VT is one. Out here, they told me yesterday that UCD has…

Treat it like dirt. Stay out late. Talk about alkaline batteries in front of it. Show up at a party with one of those cute fuel cells. Discharge it completely, daily, then forget to plug it in. When it complains say "Oh, sorry, I must have forg…

Looks like they've replaced it with a QT movie now.

...this is the thread that would not end... it just goes on and on, my friends.... OK, clearly too much time spent with my kids. I had a couple interesting conversations today. I called Apple EDU again to log my reappearance of spots. I was …

Not all FedEx packages go through Memphis. For example, my iSight travelled all of five miles from one side of Elk Grove to the other. I think it probably has something to do with the gignormous amount of Panther boxes shipping to all over the g…

Quote: Originally posted by Spyky I think I might see two, but I have to look really really hard, and in the right light, and brightness and background. If it doesn't get any worse I will be happy with it as is. But I'm afraid it probably worsen.…

Today I met with two EDU Apple reps; well one EDU rep and one guy I think was more enterprise or something. Anyway, one of them had never seen the spots issue, and the other one had only heard of it, so they were very interested in seeing what it …

Quote: Originally posted by Spyky How long did it take for the spots to appear after the repair? I got mine yesterday and have been checking frequently, no sign of them yet. I love my 15" but I would definitely consider trading for something e…

My Panther order shipped on 10/22. Last night, I thought it would get to my home today, as it shipped from Rancho Cordova (an eastern suburb of Sacramento), and I live in Elk Grove (a southern suburb of Sacramento), total distance < 10 miles. …

SOS, I'd get the machine replaced. That is the easy answer. Because of the time w/o a machine though, I'd wait, and go for a repair when you have the time. If you complain about all those things, chances are they will all get fixed, even if they …

Hmmm. I just got a reply email from my rep. On something I emailed him about two weeks ago (he's telling me I can't get Up-to-date on 10.3). This of course was resolved to my satisfaction without intervention a while ago. pscates, I thought…

Quote: Originally posted by pscates Haha. Asshead. THAT wasn't the point: the point is that she knew some stuff that I hadn't heard other Apple reps relate (and helped me with a decision or two). Not that I'll tell you... nonon…

I'm tired. The spots issue just makes me feel... tired. I'm also going to wait before I try and send this machine in again. In the meantime, I'm trying to inform my EDU rep(s) what is happening, and how unhappy I am beginning to get. I say tr…

I shoulda bought a G5. I'm getting spotty again.
