Regular readers (are there any) might know that I’ve had a lot of trouble with my iBook in the past. A recent “repair” fixed a hard drive crash, but weakened wireless reception. I decided the other day that this was worth the hour drive to the Milwaukee Apple Store, knowing that the Genius Bar people are always happy to solve a problem (that’s been my experience any way). Well, after all of this trouble, I’m finally getting a new iBook. Leaving the other one is like loosing a member of the family, but hopefully the new one will have less trouble. The Genius Bar folks are one of the reasons why, even after all the headaches, I’ll stick with a Mac. The support is second to none!

Wireless access in America
August has been a traveling month for me: the AEJMC conference in San Antonio and also a family trip to Washington DC. I had hoped to blog about both trips, but unfortunately wireless access is difficult to come by in many American cities. Even a search for free access points in San Antonio didn’t offer any help (except for sending me on a long, hot walk).
Perhaps my expectations of “ubiquitous wireless access” are a bit unreasonable, but it seems to me as though the need to create a national information must be addressed.
iTunes Japan
Apple just opened an iTunes music store in Japan. As I said in a previous post, this is awesome. Now if I could only purchase some of this great, non-American music.
Guess they don’t want my money.
