I’m concerned. Things are breaking around me and it’s really beginning to get really expensive. The bad part is that I’ve been so busy that I’ve had to just brush it off and keep going until I find time to deal with it. In late October I had a 19″ LCD start to flash off and on when it’d wake from sleep or at boot-up. Then after I upgraded to Leopard my Matrox DualHead2Go, which lets me connect two LCDs to my MacBook Pro, made everything look green (the red part of the spectrum was “lost”). Then a little over a week ago I was in a hurry to leave and I couldn’t get my expensive Jawbone bluetooth headset to disconnect from it’s charger and I managed to break the part that fits in your ear when I wrestled it from the wall. Argh… Then tonight, long 13-hour day, I disconnected my iPhone from the audio jack in my car and plugged in my V-Moda Vibe Duo earbuds and there’s no signal in the left channel. Holy Shit! (Fortunately, when I tested the iPhone with another pair of earbuds there was sound in the left channel so it was the earbuds and not the iPhone… Ack!). I do not want to even calculate the technology carnage that seems to be growing around me. Damn… I wonder how many of these things I bought with my AMEX card and whether “buyer protection” can save my ass. Ugh. JBB
