On Tuesday night I was happily mac-cing away on my 3 week old Macbook.
Imagine my surprise when I flipped the lid open on Wednesday morning to find rainbow coloured lines running from top to bottom of the display!
I restarted the machine and the screen was blank. A grey colour, lit up, but blank.
Video Ram failure.
Took it back to Future Shop where I was initially told that the 14-day period for returns of exchanges had passed. They turned out to be excellent though as they allowed me to exchange my broken Macbook for some extra cash for a brand new Macbook Pro!
Yummy!
So all is well, thanks Future Shop for great service.

So, now I'm running a Macbook Pro instead. Haven't had much time to use it yet as I spent last night loading it up again, but the display is fantastic. I also like how they have split the USB ports up so there's one on the left and one on the right. They also included a DVI to VGA connector. Ahh the little things make such a difference!
I was a little concerned about the relative small size of the display on the first Mac I got, and the display on the Pro has chased all those concerns away. At just over 15 inches it's all I could possibly want.
