At the risk of tempting the technology gods perched upon their silicone throne, I have news of comfort and joy to share. I may have unexpected reason to renew my faith in my preferred computer maker. As of June 18, 2004, Apple has expanded their iBook repair program to include (possibly) my iBook. I didn’t even know I had The Qualifying Logic Board Problem.

At some point the glow of free repairs may dim, leaving behind the tarnish of a computer that broke when it shouldn’t have. Until that time I’ll revel in my temporary luster. There’ll be plenty of time for cynicism later.
