No Macbook Pro for a few days

One of my fans started to die this morning — so I dropped it off for replacement. I’m going to go through withdrawl, I know it.

Update: Got it back already. That was a 15 hour turn around time. Even I can survive 15 hours without my Macbook Pro. (Assuming I’m asleep for about seven of them.) Go AppleCare and local Apple retail stores.
