The 'book was like a freakin' block of ice, and felt 'brittle' to me.

It usually pays to spend a bit more to buy yourself a super cool computer. Glad it worked out well.

I'll bet it was colder than 27 F in the hold of the FedEx plane from China. I dont think you have anything to worry about.

Well that depends..
I don't think you want your horse or electronics shipped at -40°C; you get what you order, maybe if you ship some documents you don't care..

Even more importantly, take a look at the condition of the Logitech boxes to the left of the plane. . . . Remind me not to ship anything with this company.

This is good to know, sometimes I leave my iBook out in the car for like hours when it's really cold outside. Like -5º F outside. :eek: :eek:

Won't be doing that anymore...
