Not good - not good at all

My MacBook is dead. It just committed Seppuku.
I put in a DVD containing some software and it, and…
Ok, so it wasn’t quite that dramatic. But the DVD drive and hard drive are well and truly OJ’ed. Which makes the machine pretty much useless. Unless you enjoy looking at a blank grey screen.
I’ve also lost a few documents and files - nothing major, as pretty much everything was on my iMac anyway. But I had spent a considerable amount of time setting it up the way I wanted it - and a day trying to fix it.
Apple are going to replace it - they say it’ll take a week but I’m sceptical given that it’s a configure-to-order machine, and the new one will need to be shipped out from China.
Oh, capitalism. How you mock me.

[...] As I posted before, my MacBook went bananas. And I’ve had a hell of a time trying to arrange a replacement. Originally, they agreed to do a straight-out swap, and DOA MacBook #1 (which will henceforth be known as Hiroshima) was promptly returned via the ever-useless TNT: Apple are going to replace it - they say it’ll take a week but I’m sceptical given that it’s a configure-to-order machine, and the new one will need to be shipped out from China.
