J'ai enfin récupéré mon iBook, après plus de 6 semaines de réparation (par ma faute et par la faute d'Apple).

Finally, finally, after over a month and a half of waiting, I got my iBook back. Bonus: they changed the topboard, so I have a new trackpad and white wrist wrests.
Why did it take so long? Partly my fault, partly Apple’s fault.
- I didn’t register my AppleCare correctly, so the shop had to do it for me outside the registration deadline, and (more or less understandably) Apple took their time.
- Apple sent the shop a faulty motherboard to repair my iBook with; the shop changed it, the computer still didn’t work, they had to order another one (from second order to repaired iBook, it took less than 10 days — Monday to the Wednesday after).
It wasn’t too bad living without a computer at home, except when (a) I found myself the center of media attention once again and (b) when I had to stay at school to type up tests and stuff for school (that was the worst). I found myself reading more, and watching a little too much TV for my taste (got nearly-hooked on a couple of series — let me know if you’re planning to offer me a birthday present, I’ve got ideas).
Actually, it was a little like being on holiday. I missed my online friends, and a bunch of things happened in my absence; some of which I regret not having been part of, some of which I’m happy to have avoided. I had lots of things to write during the first weeks, and that was a little frustrating. I’m not one to write on paper and type up later (partly because writing by hand is difficult for me because of RSI), so quite a lot of things simply disappeared in the void.
I’ve more or less caught up on e-mail (I had been checking it every couple of days at school anyway), paid a visit to the blogs I like, said hi to some people on IRC and IM, and now I need to try to get back to what I was working on online “before”. That might take some more time, particularly as we are nearing the last weeks of school now.
Glad to be back!

So I guess the email last Monday is in the 'less' part
Engfeh! My last comment should of course read “email I sent you last Monday”… :-/
er…… checks mail again
Bon, puisqu'il semble s'être perdu dans les limbes d'Internet, en voici une copie :
Welcome back to the world, Steph :-).

Dunno if you teach English as well, but if you do you might want to ask your students to say “white wrist wrests” 20 times in a row…they'd probably wrestle a bit with it

I'm not teaching English at the moment, but I'll keep your phrase in mind for when I do!

I have a better one: three witches watch three Swatch watches. Which witch watch which Swatch watch?
