Lightly Toasted

Over the last few years… I have used my mac to the fullest… at least 15 hours a day most days, if not more… dragged it through the dry arid Death Valley in Nevada, to the chilling snows of Yosemite, a few road trips, outings, roughly 16 flights and about 5 of those where I couldn’t take it on board with me (American Eagle, and United flights)… everyday to work and back, on the train, the bus, the beach, the mountains… its gone with me almost everywhere. And now… after all these loving tender moments… the Toshiba HardDrive that Apple used for my PowerBook wouldn’t mount. It has what is technically called: a S.M.A.R.T. failure… after I ran my last program Onyx!

My last backup is about 3 weeks old. Will probably loose a bit of data but am not overly worried about it… My 17″ goodness has gone to Apple as of this morning for a bit of lovin’ while I prance around dreaming up all imaginary Apple hardware I can buy la la la la … but to tell you the truth, I’ve worked that baby way too hard for all these years and between you, me and the gatepost , it was time for a new Core Duo anyway.
