my mac is dead
i woke up on wednesday morning and tried to turn on my macbook and it wouldn't start up.
what happened instead was the black screen of death! and lots of random scrolling words.
i freaked out majorly of course! and rang lots of people for help. (thanks deb! thanks henry! thanks gary!)
the first thought that came to my mind was- ARGH! my computer was dead!
and the second:
oh my god! thank goodness it didn't die exactly 1 week ago.
i guess that's what people mean by- small mercies.
if my mac had died one week ago, i think i would have thrown myself off a building ( i do not joke) i would have been about 4 hours from the submission of my thesis.
not having a computer and then losing the almost final draft of my thesis would have been too much too bear.
as of now, i've made an appointment to see a mac technician at the apple store in about an hour. i'm not that keen about buying a new computer- because i still like the one i'm using. but i've had a few days to accept the fact that i might need to get a new one. *sigh*
things can always get worse i keep telling myself. i can still get an academic discount off mac stuff here. so that's 15% off and i think the offer comes with a free ipod touch. so who know...
but right now, keep your fingers cross for my macbook...
