Good day everyone.

I am in the library, studying diligently (well not this very minute, but I have been until 11 minutes ago). Yet my concentration is being assaulted by someone snoring rather loudly on the other side of the room. I fear this person may have obstructive sleep apnoea because a) they are snoring very loudly and b) it is daytime and OSA is characterised by excessive daytime sleepiness. Maybe I should go and suggest they refer themselves to the sleep clinic for an assessment.

In other news, my macbook is finally back with a new logic board. A logic board is what Apple call a motherboard. My issue with Apple is not that there was a faulty part - I recognise that anything can have a faulty part. Nor is my issue with the authorised repair people. They did a good job. My issue is that there are no enough authorised repair places so it takes way too long for something simple to get fixed, and the Apple Customer Relations people, pleasant enough as they are, are helpless to do anything to speed up the process. I shall be writing to Apple to explain my thoughts on this matter. See people use computers for work. Having no computer for 2 weeks is bad. Obviously I did have a computer. But what if I didn't?

Anyway, that hasn't dulled my like of mac. Last night I giggled as I was backing up both my laptops to my brother's hard drive (Linux) over our Windows network. The macbook and linux machine negotiated it just fine. The windows laptop had a lot of trouble.
