Haiku of Computer Woe
December 2, 2006, updated December 24, 2006My Powerbook died
Hoping it's just the hard drive
Website now dormant
Update: It is almost certainly the hard drive. Here's the one I'm thinking of getting to replace my dead 80GB one.
Second Update: I ordered my new hard drive, so my computer should be alive again by next week. My parents took my camera with them to Thailand for the month, so I've been without both my computer and camera… The tech-withdrawal has been awful!
Third Update: My computer is back from the repair shop with a new, larger hard drive! I did lose some data (all my browser bookmarks, hundreds of emails, all my iTunes playlists, and various other files and applications) because the data backup and restore process isn't perfect and I had last backed up my hard drive a week before it failed (oops) so everything since then was lost. Unfortunately, my Powerbook is a model with a difficult to replace hard drive, so that caused extra time and expense, but all is finally well again. ![]()
