MacBook Problems Continue

Argh! I don’t believe it! (As Victor Meldrew would say.) I’m on my third top case and trackpad for this ruddy MacBook, and now they are starting to discolour too – after less than a week. This is ridiculous. Will I have to send my MacBook back to Apple every fortnight forever just to make sure that it doesn’t look like a dirty pancake? What was the point of them agreeing to repair it (twice) if they didn’t have replacement parts that were immune to the same problems? Is it just me? Do I have corrosive, yellow sweat? I think not… My white T-shirts and work shirts don’t turn yellow. My white iBook never turned yellow. But this MacBook… It would seem that there is a whole batch of faulty plastic still out there, and the Birmingham repair centre is still using them. Very frustrating. Anyway…

Another shot of Scrivener to cheer me up:
