Also, this weekend we went out to purchase a sheet and I ended up with a new phone.
It was one of those trips where you set out to buy one thing, then while you're out you remember a number of other things that you want and/or need, so now instead of a quick one-stop trip, it's a long four-stop trip, and you might as well get lunch out since you'll be out for so long, so it's now five. We were also going to test out the new iPhone car accessory thing![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
myrialux got for me, since my old one was broken*. OR SO WE THOUGHT. Turns out that (a) I realized that my iPhone's not making the connection when plugging in to the computer MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH it not making the connection when I plugged it in to the car, and (b) the new accessory thingy appeared to have a short in it so it was useless ANYWAY.
Somyrialux whipped out his iPhone, called up the Apple Store app, and found he could make an appointment for the Genius Bar online. We did some of our shopping, then swung by the Apple Store. The guy tightened up the connections inside, but pointed out that I had 16 days left on the warranty, and that he could just give me a new phone for it. So I opted for that, as I didn't know if the problem was going to recur. The new phone has a 90-day warranty, which effectively extended my warranty for 75 days. :)
So, yeah, head out for a sheet, end up with a car trunk full of stuff and a new phone. (And on Sunday we ran around to another bunch of places and returned the car accessory thingy as well.)
* One of those that sends the iPod part through the air viaMAGIC radio waves, to play through the stereo accompanied by varying degrees of static. My car radio does not have a tape deck, otherwise I'd SO be there, as the static is annoying. And it's really not worth spending the money to retrofit the car radio (or buy new) just to play podcasts. (We have been known to burn podcasts to CD when we're going on long-distance drives and myrialux doesn't want to drive his car.)
