Fitz Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 YOU WOULD THINK THE CONSENSUS WOULD BE ENOUGH. THE CONSENSUS DOES NOT "INTERVIEW". THE CONSENSUS MERELY ALLOWS YOUR INANE QUESTIONING UNTIL IT IS TIME FOR THE CONSENSUS TO ACT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadphoneAddict Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Took our old 2006 15" Macbook Pro to the Apple Store with a flakey keyboard. I couldn't fix it by doing a PRAM reset using a USB keyboard, or by booting from the installer disk. Apple thinks we're looking at $185 to fix it, since the Apple Care ran out a year and 83 days ago. It's fine as long as we don't need to use the A, D, X, C, V, and left CMD keys. One option was to just make the kids keep using it with an external keyboard plugged in, or using the onscreen software keyboard, but I was out voted.

The good thing is they'll fix everything that's wrong with it, not just the keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Got up early to work before a landscaper comes for a meeting. Yesterday I got a $7800 quote to take down a tree from a company that had quoted me $5k to take it down last year. We did a $3k crown reduction instead so the tree would stick around. I had figured around $3k to do the rest because I'm sure some cost is to get the guys there etc. I'm looking forward to their explanation of the new price vs the old one, it's with a different arborist but last years price was from the head arborist. Probably not going to do it anyway now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvlgato Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 thanks guys. yeah, i think that the Outlook problem was perfect timing. How did you manage to get to her computer and mess up her Outlook program, right before the interview, without being detected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellylh Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 That does look awesome Steve. I just got back from my first trip to real Texas. [Realized that even though I have now lived in Texas for almost 11 years of my life, this is the first time I have spent time in a non-beach non-city area of Texas.] Spent the last three at a conference in Tyler, TX (in a dry county). I am very happy to be back! Have a lot of HC catchup to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Tyler is where I first moved to in 2001. Very pretty there. Shelly I'm already planning on building a handle of my own. My brain is considering all the possibilities. Lord knows I need a use for all the smaller scraps I've accumulated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
