The Glass is Half Empty

It's not quite that bad, but I just learned that the ship date for my Mac Book Pro has been moved from February 15th to February 28th (with the processor speed increased, of course).

I'm disappointed, but the completely unrelated good news is that I was able to repair the G3 that was rapidly becoming unusable. The display had been crapping out (black was being displayed as red), and QuickTime display was illegible, but I found a replacement display on eBay for $75 (promising no red "washout"), and I was able to disassemble and reassemble the G3 in a couple of hours today and it's as good as its six-year-old new.
