Yeah, cause this was one of the devices that I was really on the fence about, when it come to buying Applecare. Glad I don't have to regret it this soon. :)

We have a cool front rolling in tonight.

You crazy Canucks and your metric system. We like to call that 'room temperature' around here. As a matter of fact, my house is 72 degrees FARENHEIT year 'round.

72°? How can you manage with such unbearable heat? Oh wait, not using the metric system...gotcha. ;)

Went and played golf today so I suppose I should be thankful that it wasn't in the high 30s/low 40s like it's been lately (95° - 110° for those of you stuck on the imperial system :p).

Oh yeah, 36 inches to a yard, 1,760 yards to a mile, 212° for the boiling point and 32° for the freezing point of water are much easier to remember than 100 cm to a metre, 1000 m to a km, 100° for the boiling point of water and 0° for the freezing point of water. I'll be switching right away :p.

Hey, when every country uses the metric system except for the USA, Myanmar and Liberia (UK is iffy afaik), I'd say there is no need to be defensive. Source. ;)

lol, I honestly don't care which system anyone uses. As long as there are converters, I'm happy. I just like razzing people.

Trust me, with an avatar of a Heineken keg that looks like R2D2, it's hard to take you too seriously. ;)

Van, you need a Linux Avatar! :D

I have been brought up all my life with the american system of measurements so when I see the metric system is still confuses me. It's really hard for me to forget so many years of the system we use here.
