So, I think I haven't blogged about the horrendous computer adventures of the last couple of weeks. You see, I travel with the MacBook Pro (I know.. I KNOW) and so the other night I was walking down the hallway to my bedroom with the power cord wrapped up in my hand and the laptop open churning code in the other... so I turn to go into the bedroom and boom the power cord is wrapped on the door handle which stops me cold and the laptop, well, it doesn't stop.

After inspection, it still looks okay so I continue on. I have forgotten to bring an external drive but everything looks okay. A couple days later, the experience of computing is so bad that I now recognize something has happened to the laptop, days earlier. This is not good.

After hours of searching, I finally find the errors log for some unknown System Preferences thing from some menu buried somewhere far away in Vista. It shows me a chkdsk error about every 4 seconds. Nice.

How long til the hard drive blows?

So I go to the Mac store... helpful, no? I find the first thing that pisses me off about the MacBook... do you know in order to reformat the disk you have to have the original disk they provided? The original or within weeks of it.

This post to here was started a few days ago. I've been horrendously sick... I feel like my head might explode off my body and I can barely move for the aches in my body. :( This does not make me happy but, I'd still like to finish my story.

So this is my first issue with this new world of Apple hardware. Apparently even in the store they can't provide you with the original setup disk. So I had to have them FedEx'd to me... wait a couple days then finally reformat and 0 out the hard drive. This was to verify that the chkdsk errors were ficitious running in the virtual image on the Windows side (remember the hardware is Apple). After finally fixing the thing on the long weekend in the Canal, I went to load up my files and realized I forgot a USB cable... it has taken me til now to get my computer back... All my outlook files back and setup...

So anyway... the first thing I did when I got my email up was to email you.... and then I realized I don't know where to email you! So email me. :)

I have spent the day sick. I've slept about 75% of today. I did take a nice walk this afternoon for about an hour outside where the beavers live. I am praying to be better this week.
