Broken
I apologise for the silence around here (and for any unanswered emails), but my laptop hard drive died on Monday, so I’m in computing limbo-land. I’m camping out on Mr. Bsag’s iMac, but that means I can’t do anything computer related at work, so there’s a lot of running about and improvisation going on.
Luckily, I had a backup from late on Saturday (backing up is boring until the instant you need it, and then you are incredibly grateful that you took the trouble to do it regularly), so I shouldn’t have lost much data. However, there’s a lot of organisation to do when I get a replacement or a fix, which is not a good thing when I have a deadline looming on Thursday.
I’ll be glad when it’s all over, and I’m back on my own, configured-just-how-I-like-it machine.

Heartfelt commiserations. My iBook has just died too, (I think it's the HDD) and I don't know if it's something I can get mended or can replace or have to replace the whole machine - which presumably means waiting till Leopard comes out. Oh, the agony!

Tony, you can put a new HD yourself or have the apple store do it for you. it is very easy and your ibook will be just like new. Apple has put some shoddy drives in there, ibook g4's usually die within 1.5 to 2 years. you don't have to get the whole thing replaced. Get a hold of yerself man!

Yes, replacing the hard drive is the thing. It's easier on some models than others, but certainly a good repair shop should able to do it for you with no problems.
