After calling Apple on May 24 to report our broken AirPort Base Station, and being assured that a box was coming to collect it, we waited ... and nothing. Never showed up. So, this week Meredith took the Base Station in to the Apple Store in Palo Alto. It took about an hour, but she did finally manage to get them to exchange it for a replacement model that seems to actually work. Score +1.
And our new Nikon Coolpix 995 showed up from Amazon yesterday. It's great. Meredith loves it. There's only one tiny little problem: the flash is dead. OK, not completely dead — you can see the faintest little blue glow for an instant if you stare directly into it. It's not really all that effective, really. Well, there's a first time for everything, and this will be the first time I've used Amazon's returns service. Score -1.
