Junk post

Old Faithful, my  c. 2006 MacBook, has become a slattern. No longer elegant, she's doomed to the scullery of internet  endeavor. In her place comes a sleek Mac Airhead 13-incher.

Apple people are adept at helping you spend your money. I've hardly ever had a quicker or more efficient ordering process, and within a couple-three hours an email announced the new lady had already been dispatched and was due to arrive in eight days  (standard transport, for free).

From Shanghai.


















As the ancient Polynesian sailing chant goes:  Aiiiiiii-eeeeeee! Pray for a west wind.

It just cleared Anchorage, en route Lower 48.

The current estimate has it here in six days. Maybe -- with Steve Jobs gone -- it is now UPS which is the only company in the world that knows WTF it's doing. :)
