my f^**k#$# computer

ok -- let me bring you up to date: so my laptop got smashed in a combie ride (squished in with 13 others and at least two live fowl. i was aggrieved. jan 5 -- sent it to south africa. it gets held up by customs -- they demand 700 rand -- i decline, it waits, it gets through. apple south africa: "mr. garneau this is going to COST you." mr garneau: "ok, just kidding, send it back." and here we are. the computer is still in south africa, in some ritzy neighborhood called sandton* i am waiting for the LCD to be sent from the states so i can put it in myself. i did, however, dispatch a very nasty note to apple in which i dissected their supposed image and their treatment of joe peace corps. i don't know if it was smart to send it before i got the computer back though :(
