The best laid schemes....
Here in this cottage in the West Cork countryside with Bags of time and material I had planned to post daily to this blog. Yesterday I took my Mac into the Cork City Apple hospital to have its non-functioning integral keyboard restored to perfect health. The problem, the doctors told me, was serious. Mac would have to be admitted for a few days for tests. Perhaps an operation, a transplant, will be necessary. I had to sign a form giving my permission - and pay some money. I now have the prospect of waiting anxiously by the phone for news. I do have this trusty iPad with me but do not have the patience to write posts hereon. The iPod is a great gadget but should not be regarded as a substitute for a MacBook.

I hope the patient pulls through and you have travel/sickness insurance to pay the hospital bills...
It's tech created by Apple for goodness sake. Instead of paying money to people you don't know, why not poke it in the soil instead? Surely it should root, and it might even heal itself, maybe...
Welcome aboard David! Apple doctors who fixed things reported liquid damage to the keyboard. I do not remember having spilled anything on it (Which is not to say that I have not!) but I am aware that, at home in the summer, the keyboard does get splattered enough with my perspiration to need an occasional toweling. I wonder?
