Refurbed
Got my laptop back from Apple. Turns out the whole video display required a brand new hard drive. I powered it up and got the Welcome screen. Last time they called me to double check before they did that. Not so, this time.
Had to re-load the OS and re-run all the software updates. I din't lose too much stuff, I don't think. And I did kind of need a new hard drive. Got a new keyboard and they replaced the two missing rubber feet. For all that they could have given me a new battery, too, but okay.
I'm probably gonna put it up on eBay when I get a new one, so hopefully this'll up the resale value a little. Looks like similar models are going for about $250. Not great, but it's better than nothing. Especially considering I got this one for free when my last one died. It'll pay for AppleCare (the extended warranty) on the new one.
Thanks to Senuti, not only did I not have to lose everything I put on my iPod since the last backup, I actually copied it all back to my laptop. Yay, Senuti!

I know you were probably missing your laptop. I would've been. Did you get a bigger hard drive? I've heard nothing but good comments about Senuti.
