experiment step 2
The box for the shipment to Apple Care has arrived. At this point, I’m getting some warm and fuzzies. The packing is very professional and includes all the necessary items: the box (huh?), the properly sized pads for above+below+sides of the laptop, a wrapper for the laptop itself, and even tape to seal the box with. The shipping label it arrived with is two layer. For the return, all I have to do is peel the top layer off and the bottom layer gets the box back to Apple. I will perform the final backup of my data on Sunday and ship it out on Monday. Oh god.
