To the Apple Store today, to consult with a Genius. My iBook continues to act wonky — weird trackpad action that seems attributable to the combined effects of disk use (ie, heat) and pressure (as I rest my wrists and hands on the assigned space). The case warps ever so slightly, and that makes the trackpad lose track, for lack of a better description.

Of course, I couldn’t reproduce the problem in the store, since a. I had the lid closed when I took it in, and b. I was testing it on a nice firm wooden countertop.

Next time I lounge in their comfy chairs and see if I can repro it there.

I did hunt for a Mac mini and it was kinda hard to find: they’re small, and always smaller than I expect. But using one hooked up to 20 inch display, with some 3D visualization software just makes it clear how far behind the times I am.
