About 3 weeks ago the screen of my MacBook Pro went dark. The screen was still working, I could see images pointing a strong light, but it was not backlit. Since I was about to leave for the US and we were planning to buy a new MacBook anyway, I ordered a new one, transferred everything, and send the old one for repair.

Something I noticed right away with the new MacBook is that the keyboard doesn't work very well. All keys work, but I need to push much more. While writing on the keyboard of the old MacBook was a delight, the new one was hard and quite often there were missing letters in what I was writing.

Anyway, I went to New York, while there I bought Leopard and upgraded, and when I got back I found my old MacBook repaired.

After working one more week on the new one, I have decided that the keyboard is flawed and I'm sending it back for repairs. So I just moved everything back to my old MacBook and tomorrow I'll send the new one away.

Thanks to the migration tools the transfer is quite smooth (some applications need to be re-registered, but it's not a big deal), if everything goes well I will move everything back to the new machine next weekend, for the third time in a month.

I'm writing this post mostly to enjoy using a nice keyboard again, it's like playing my Gibson ES335 versus my old acoustic: it feels great (and I can play a MacBook much better than a guitar ;-)
