Happy Valentine's Day!
This is my V-day present to all of you: BACK UP ALL THE DATA ON YOUR COMPUTER. RIGHT NOW. I'M SERIOUS. It sucks, and it's annoying, but one day you will be very grateful you did it. Especially if you have things on your computer that if you lost, you would lose sleep/cry over it.
Uh, so, yeah, I got my computer back from the Apple factory yesterday. It has been completely restored, even though the Geniuses told me they would only do that as a last resort. BULLSHIT, geniuses. The letter the Apple factory people sent with the computer said they were unable to duplicate the problem. So they just replaced the whole operating system. Last resort. Riiiight.
Good news: I now have Leopard.
Bad news: Everything that used to be on my computer is gone.
EXCEPT, if you will recall, I spent $100 on an external harddrive and backed up all my data on Friday before they shipped it away, because I suspected this might happen. And, uh, let me just say THAT WAS THE BEST $100 I EVER SPENT.
I'm serious. Go back up your data. Do it. Dooooo it.
computer,
suck,
