Well, I’m hugely impressed: my replacement midplane board has just arrived. I reported it late on Wednesday afternoon and the kindly support assistant quoted “five to seven working days” for delivery. Given that we’re heading into the new year and a bank holiday, I figured I’d be lucky to get it by the end of next week – particularly given my last round of waiting for Apple to deliver.
So, for it to turn up a scant 48 hours later seems nothing less than all-round fantastic. If it had arrived next week then I’d have properly documented the process with a decent(ish) digi camera, but we’ll have to settle for my phonecam.
This had better work.
