Macbook problems

Not a very pleasant start to my blogging life, I know, but I needed to be heard. Here is a picture of my Macbook, after only 8 months of use. Never been dropped once, always carried in its expensive protective case (booq) or kept on the desk. The stress cracks started to appear just 2 weeks after I bought the computer, but I couldn't give it back to service because it was my only computer and I was desperately in need of one ( university and thesis)

Tomorrow, i'm giving it to the service. The guy seemed to be friendly, he said the huge crack above the infrared receiver is going to be replaced without any problem. But when I mentioned the other cracks surrounding the entire main case, he was quite reluctant to say they would replace it. Keeping my fingers crossed..

Here is a pic, hope u can also see the cracks . ( one must be pretty blind to not see them :) )


oh, I was about to forget, the reason why I started writing is, that, since I'm giving my comp. to the service, i'll have limited access to the internet. Patience friends, patience..

That's all for now, i'll keep everyone posted..

Can

PS: Whatever happens between us, I'd still love my Macbook :)


UPDATE NO: 1

4.09.07: I gave it back to the service, the guy claimed it was gonna take around 1 week, all would be replaced,it is a common problem, and under warranty i'd not pay anything. I wanna believe everything he said, but i don't have faith in apple's customer care (esp. for the ones without applecare. i mean the sole presence of the applecare system is kinda a sign, isn't it ? )
