My hard drive died. Again. It did this a year ago; the 90-day warranty on the replacement hard drive has clearly expired. I have a fairly recent backup, but the time involved is very irritating and frankly, two hardware failures in a year has me questioning my loyalty to Apple. I love my PowerBook, and would probably buy a new MacBook … if only I knew when the new ones were coming out.
Frustrating. Very very frustrating. Ah, well … I have my contacts saved on my Palm (and my backup, but I won’t restore that until I have a new hard drive). Perhaps one of the most difficult tasks is trying to remember 150+ passwords!
Thusly, there may be light blogging for a few days. (I wonder if Apple still uses DHL)?
