Rather than get there at 10, queue, and be told the next appointment wasn't for hours anyway, I tried the new Concierge system which lets you choose any available slot (old system simply gave next available time).

I got to the site at 10:04. Next available slot: 13:40. Gotta love Regent Street.

(Booked in for 15:00.)

*LOL* I'm a rarity. I'm very, very hard on keyboards, and that's about 4 of my visits. I've broken Dell, MS, Logitech, and Gateway keyboards in the past. The trouble here is that it's a laptop - if a key comes off, it can't simply be stuck back on, and you can't just go buy a new one!

Other problems:
Dead hard drive - not apple's fault, it was a Toshiba drive and anyone can get a dud. I got a brand new laptop out of it...
DC-IN port - combination of bad pin design (new MacBookPro uses a magnetic adapter) and me continuing to se a dodgy lead.

The build quality of Macs is generally very good and I don't know anyone who does as much damage as I do!!!
