Recently we have had an Apple Store move near where I live in West Quay southampton, I attended the opening, now I’ve had my mac since before then, we bought it online and it’s served me well. So my battery failed, and I took it to the store to see what the problem was, and they said they could fix that, but then the guy looked at my display and saw that it had dirt and grime underneath, it’s totally annoying as a graphic artist but I never thought about complaining about it.

So now I have a great new display! My previous one looked awful compared to this and hence now I should be able to do much better work and truly enjoy my MacBook Pro. They also fixed my keyboard which was very nice of them. All for free. I am one happy customer… but soon my warrenty will run out - AppleCare for me?

They’re awesome! From the blog of graphic artist Adam Betts comes some amazing CS 3 replacement icons. These use the box art to enhance the icons adobe released, and give the icons a less obstructive size in your dock. They are absolutely beautiful, I use them, you should (if you are a CS3 user) too!

Get the icons/read the entry: artofadambetts.com/weblog/?p=190
The version on his site is Mac only, there is also a Windows port at deviantart.com/deviation/53728408/

Check out this cheeky bloke, gfxl on blogspot it’s already at the top index of google for being on blog spot - ARGH! I don’t really want to relaunch the site again!!!

On the other hand, if you Google “gfxl”, my little site is now on the rankings, at number 5 no less!

The guy with the blog seems to be doing better than me, I must admit this site is in a sorry state right now, sorry about that. I’ll blog a bit more for you.
