No iBook

It's been a while since I've posted anything. The biggest reason for that is a non-functional computer. Last Tuesday I was working on e-mail, and as I pressed the Delete key, the screen froze with a lot of vertical stripes. It took a while, but I was finally able to get the computer started again, at which point I quickly backed up my files. When I shared my problem with another Macintosh user at the MAF office, he suggested I look at an Apple web site page for a Repair Extension program for iBooks. Sure enough, my iBook had the described problem, and fell inside the range of serial numbers eligable for repair. The next day I flew to Quito with Caleb to do some work at the Avant dorm, where the MAF high school students stay while attending the Alliance Academy. That afternoon I found the Apple Service Center and arranged for repair. They are ordering a new logic board. I kept the iBook, and when the part arrives, I'll take it back up to Quito for the repair to be made. It's going to be mid-October 'til that's all said and done. So, here I sit, using a PC, and generally not spending as much time on a computer. It's probably good for me, as I am stuck in front of my iBook for way too much time during the evenings.
