Delays and a show of goodwill

Why I was not so happy to hear when I was promised brand new Unibody Macbook Pro?
I had little conflicting feelings about my 1st MacBook Pro to be changed to new Unibody MacBook Pro.
Main reasons here, quick and shortly:
Pros:
Faster CPU
Bigger HDD
More Memory
Faster GPU
Tough Unibody design.

Cons:
Glossy display!
Loose lid hinges (by then I've read of loose hinges from many sources)
1st generation of new hardware design. (I newer purchase anything at the 1st wave. I tend to wait until most of childhood diseases have been polished away)

But this time I had no choice. I accepted the transfer and was given instructions to pack my laptop and all that came with it to it's original package and send it by courier company X to Apple.

I soon received message telling me that my new computer have been shipped. I also received a tracking number. Within the following days it came clear to my that the tracking number does not exist in this particular courier company's database. I quickly contacted Apple again asking where actually my computer was? I received answer shortly telling that the computer have been accidentally sent to a completely wrong country. Before I even had time to understand what the message said I got second mail telling me that they've now sent me another computer and as a show of goodwill some of the components have been upgraded. CPU from 2,53GHz to 2,8GHz and HDD to 320GB 5400rpm to equal size but 72oorpm.

I was quite happy.
All those cons mentioned in this post have vanished from my mind.
Actually I was really happy.

Untill the MacBook Pro arrived...
