Checked earlier this week on the status of my computer which I'd dropped off for repairs before leaving for Seattle at the end of September. Had received one email that the part had been ordered. Status now is the same. For some reason in the meantime, they have gotten further behind (now, three weeks) in laptop repairs, something more important presumedly taking precedence. Though why the part hasn't arrived in the meantime, I do not know.

And now a vaguely related, yet somewhat instructive anecdote from the Lady of Shalott:
And moving through a mirror clear
That hangs before her all the year,
Shadows of the world appear.
And we all know what happened to her.
