My PowerBook is dead
Two days ago, I was watching Monsters, Inc. with the daughter on my Powerbook. A couple of hours later it started making really weird noises. Now it powers up but it won't start. A weird black rectangle is the only thing that comes up when you try to turn it on. Not good. Oh, but I've backed everything up, right? Of course not.
Needless to say, my blogging prolifery might be coming to a screeching halt. Pray it isn't so. I'm too much of a blog geek to not have a computer.
(Thanks to the misses for letting me borrow her computer to compose this post!)
You know, if you haven't backed things up, you might consider going to someone who data recovery for a living and see if you can get data off you computer. If you are like me, there are things you don't want to lose on there. It might be worth the cost. Man, I need to finish backing mine up!!

Only one thing for it dude - time to buy a shiny new MacBook Pro. I'm in the same boat. My Powerbook is slowly dying but the Taxman just gave me a heap of cash back and there's a MBP update JUSSSSSST around the corner. Holding my breath here every Tuesday... Don't buy QUITE yet. I have a good feeling about tomorrow. Then again, I've been saying that every Tuesday for months.
Oh, by the way, seeing as you've been talking about blogs, you may want to check out mine. I've had some verrrrrrrry scary comments on some of my blogs. I think you'll see what I mean if you check it out.
Later, dude!
Iain :-)

Sorry to hear that, I've never had a main laptop go down. Sounds frustrating.

sorry for your apple woes. my friend's did the same thing and they had to replace the battery and motherboard. i think it was around 300 bucks.

Not cool. Sounds like your hardrive crashed. I've got a Powerbook and I'm wondering when its dooms day will come.
It's 4 years old...
