I haven't laughed that good in days. It's probably only that humerous because it holds some quality of truth for most of us. I had to have mine repaired about 3 months ago, and missed it most of the time it was gone.
I sent her away on Fri 3/29 at 12:39pm and received it back yesterday (Wed. 4/3) at 1:26pm... The most excruciatingly painful separation since my wife went to Salt Lake City for 3 days on a business trip. (She and I are *never* apart... and my wife and I spend all our time together too.)
Fortunately my wife is very understanding and realizes that my love for the iPAQ does not in anyway diminish my love for *her*. (Just a bit of pronoun juggling there.)
Now we are back together and all is well in the universe. I'm so giddy that I have even lost my roving eye when I pass by Jornadas or when someone utters the word "Xscale."
My iPaq had the "screen wander" problem. I put up with it for ages thinking that a repair would be a major hassle (plus I couldn't remember if it was still under warranty or not!).
Eventually rang Compaq - explained about not being sure on the warranty - "oh yes it is sir" they said. Man arrived to collect it that afternoon and it was back inside a couple of days - plus they'd changed the battery. Didn't cost me anything. First class service.
Now you had to go and make me feel bad for spending all that money? Shh.. Just don't let my wife know that I could have gotten it for free... Oh well, at least now I have 64MB of RAM to play around with. :-)
Sir, step AWAY from the iPAQ
