Moan to Steve – Get Somewhere (The Return)
Well, some of you may remember from a while back my troubles with Kate’s PowerBook G4 and getting it repaired (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3). We got a new iPod Classic 80gb out of it, so that was a benefit that we weren’t expecting – but the story has progressed even further in the past couple of weeks.
