Bad Apple, Genious!

I’ve spent months with an intermittent noise coming from my TiBook. I have called AppleCare about it, taken it to the Apple Store on mulitple occasions. It simply wouldn’t make the noise while I was there.
Saturday morning, I took the train downtown and walked to the big Apple Store on Michigan. They first really blew me off. I sat at the genious bar taking up precious stool space on a busy weekend morning.
When I first arrived, I told the “genious” that the fan between the power button and right speaker was going out. He laughed at me and said there was no way sound could come from that space and that it was funny how people could hear sounds coming from places that couldn’t make noise. He wanted to take my machine and “check it in.” I laughed and muttered some stuff under my breath.
So when it started whining, I called over the other genious who had seemed like he would be more helpful. So the scoop is: There is a fan there. It is going bad. I still have my machine to work on until the part comes in. And genious’ aren’t always so bright.
