/sigh....why me?

Having not heard anything from the Mac store on the status of the new computer, I decided to stop in and see what was going on. It turns out that Apple had the wrong information connected with the serial number of my computer. So they thought it was a giant tower instead of a laptop, and said they couldn't fix the problem 'cause that type of machine doesn't have the problem being described by the store techs... After several days of back and forth arguing, Apple was convinced that my laptop was in fact a laptop, and they can fix it. Sadly, all this delay means it won't be back in Corvallis until the beginning of next week. /Sigh.
