After almost 2 weeks without a laptop, I'm finally back in business. Unfortunately Apple couldn't fix mine because there was significant damage to more than 4 important components, meaning it was basically totaled and it wasn't economically sound for them to do it. Lame. Anyways, to make a long story short, I had to end up getting a new MacBook to replace mine. It's nice having a new computer, but at the same time, I've spent the entire morning fiddling around with it and getting my documents/pictures/music/movies onto it, which is a pain in the butt.
