In the beginning…
In the beginning there was supposed to be a MacBook Pro, but wasn’t. I *had* decided that once I get my MacBook Pro that I would get WordPress and put up this site as well as getting to work on my other projects. Unfortunately that hasn’t happened because my order has been delayed. I’ve been forced to start this block on my desktop PC (I hear you all cry *Oh dear lord!*).
I tried to go in-store to grab a laptop — no joy. Apple won’t customise a MacBook’s hard drive in-store. So I figured I could wait the 3 days advertised on their website. I jumped on, ordered and selected the larger HDD. I use a lot of space and didn’t fancy upgrading later. It turns out, that because I chose a larger hard drive, it adds another 7 days onto the turn around time AND I didn’t get told this until after checkout. *sigh* Thanks Apple! Not a good start. How am I supposed to be a hip blogger without my MacBook? Explain that to me, Apple!
Anyway, this post was supposed to be about my project plans, I’ve now put it into a separate post.
Update 15th July: Got an email this morning telling me that it has been delayed for another 2 weeks… It’s been 2 weeks already!! Apple, please, does it really take a month to put in another hard drive? I could do it in 30 mins… I’m going to contact them. Not.Happy.Jan.
Update 2 @ 15th July: Got a reply from ‘Linda’, she’s looking into it.
Update: 3 @ 15th July: Haven’t heard back from Linda but I just got a shipping notice for my laptop, will arrive tomorrow.
Update 4 @ 15th July: Linda replied, told me the order has shipped and will come tomorrow.
Update 5 @ 16th July: My laptop has arrived! So happy! =D
