Hi Sonny,

Very fair criticism...

Until very recently, the Apple store I went to was in Toronto which is  
about 4 hours away. I just schedule my trip to the Apple store to  
match visits to my parents and friends.

Ah, that is why I don't use the local authorized  Mac dealer of which  
there are a fair number. They cannot guarantee a turnaround of less  
than 24 hours (and are sometimes of questionable qualification, I  
swear). This is partly Apple's fault for not allowing them to stock  
parts but that is not something I can do about.

Regards,
Spencer
