(At about the 4 year mark) Fortunately, all but a few important files had already migrated to our newer computer. The harddrive simply won't even spin anymore... so I have a newer harddrive in the lappy and as other stuff starts to go wrong, I'm in the market for a new one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474798266451974344.post-66102277766561781822008-08-25T18:09:00.000-07:002008-08-25T18:09:00.000-07:00All backed up and ready to go.All backed up and ready to go.Mike Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13555200228537464762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474798266451974344.post-91332406166436098872008-08-25T13:20:00.000-07:002008-08-25T13:20:00.000-07:00shoulda bought a dell...with extended warranty. I ...shoulda bought a dell...with extended warranty. I had to send mine away-THEY picked up the tab for PUROLATOR EXPRESS there and back. They sent the truck on a Tuesday, they got it in Toronto area on Wednesday, I had it back in my hands on Thursday afternoon. That's why I am STICKING with my dell.<BR/>They had to replace the screen (went blank) and a bunch of keys. <BR/>Cool.<BR/>HOWEVER-I FEEL your pain, Bro Mike. I know the feeling...it is VERY frustrating. You did make a complete backup of your hard drive before you shipped it away...right? Right?<BR/>Talk to you Thursday...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474798266451974344.post-72859677734435961072008-08-25T11:16:00.000-07:002008-08-25T11:16:00.000-07:00I take sick pleasure in knowing that a Mac user al...I take sick pleasure in knowing that a Mac user also had to get repairs.

My son's MacBook Pro has been shipped in for repairs as well - including once the loss of his hard drive. But isn't it amazing how HELPLESS one feels without the laptop to work on?William Weedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383850332591975790noreply@blogger.com
