Thanks, will do - in particular because this time I also got Apple Care on the machine. Remaining problem is to actually get an appointment in the genius bar (I'm traveling a bit these days, and they tend to booked out here for a week in advance).

I'm really curious as to the WiFi thing - I'm definitely not the only one with the problem (see my post here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13494910 with some links), but I haven't seen it widely reported at all.

If you walk in on a weekday near the end of the day, generally you can get an appointment with a 20 - 30 minute wait time right there in the store.

I always do this because I know they will have a cancelation, and I really hate booking a week out for something that is bothering me today.

I'll try - not sure they're as flexible here in Germany. Yes, the one week+ booking thing is annoying.
