Tech News Vermont

My new macbook pro has arrived and I’m nearly done transfering my old data from backups onto the new machine.  Yes, I received a completely new machine from the 2009 design family.

My late 2008 Macbook Pro was exhibiting the freeze up problem when running on the higher graphics setting.  My local Apple service center replaced my RAM, the motherboard and the upper case and I still had the problem.  I sent the machine to Apple’s repair center in Tennessee and it still had the problem.  I even tried to upgrade to Snow Leopard and still I’d freeze up for no reason.

Apple replaced the machine last week with a new Macbook Pro and I’ve been freeze free.  The Applecare team was very helpful through the whole ordeal.

Now that I’ve got my machine back I expect to be updating TechNews Vermont on a more regular basis.  I may even get a podcast done.

As long as the massive snowfall doesn’t knock down power lines,  I should have the first show recorded and posted tonight.  There’s still a few minutes left to get comments or questions in for them to make the first show.
