laptop scare

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

so, many of my projects (at least the ability to make small progress one day at a time) rely upon my trusty li’l 12″ powerbook g4, the old one with the titanium shell and the 4 hour battery life (2 yrs into my 2nd battery, this is still the case!).

last night, my box died in a big way.  shut off unexpectedly and wouldn’t come back on.  bad news.  took forever for me to get it back up.  then i put it to sleep overnight and expected it to come back to life.  no dice.  i s’pose i should’ve figured this would happen.

ugh.  i back up the most important files, but i have data files i don’t wanna lose.

anyhoo, long story short, walked/bused to the apple store today and after an hour’s wait next door at the steeping room (tasty tea and scones), i was shown how the airport card, when loose, causes all kinds of kernel panics in osx.

good to know.  hope this doesn’t mean i’ll soon need a new laptop.  maybe someday, but not today.

thanks matt from the genius bar.

and thanks chris for picking me up from there so we could play music.  good time — first time w/guitar/drums rather than bass/drums.  looking forward to more.
