Thanks, Rich, I wish that was it. I'd already checked that and did so 
again just for good measure when it was mentioned by someone earlier.

I just learned (to my great satisfaction) that First Tech, which is just 
a block away from me here in Minneapolis, is authorized to do Applecare 
service. They still recommend sending computers away for certain things, 
but if it's just a matter of some work on the antenna, they said they 
can probably do it in-house with no problem.
