Fucking Apple can fucking fuck off and die.

Anyone that wants to quote me on that is more than welcome to.

The whole screen on my laptop just froze. Completely immobile - not just one window or one application. The whole fucking thing. A nuisance, yes, but generally not worth panicking over. Except for one thing ...

This has happened to me twice before, and both times, it occurred in the week before the laptop packed up entirely and sparked off protracted arguments with Apple on some of my favourite subjects: Why I Need A New Logicboard; Why I Need It Now, Not In Three Weeks' Time; and Why Apple Should Pay For It.

If this is the case again, I am not going to be a happy girl in the slightest.

I'm not sure what to hope for, though. I obviously don't want to be without my laptop, but I find myself believing that disaster is inevitable -- from experience, not out of any innate pessimism -- and that being the case, I should like it to strike in the next two weeks while my last new logicboard is still under manufacturers' warranty. It makes the arguments with Apple slightly less protracted.

Paranoid? Me?
