Well, the worst that could happen happened on Tuesday. My laptop died. I was wishing and praying that it would be able to last until the 2nd week of March (when the newest versions of MacBook Pros are readily available on the market) but she just couldn't do it Capt'n!
She was kind of like my BlackBerry...although not held together with solder....but very well used and abused and ready to go into the green and copper graveyard in the sky. The "M" key worked sporadically and the keyboard dimmer was shot, the spacebar had to be hit on the left side to work and the caps lock light had it's own little strobe beat....but she still worked. I'm gonna miss the old Lappy....and all her default settings. Especially her default settings.
I really wish I could remember all the websites that I had bookmarked over the last 3 years. I guess I can think of this as a "spring cleaning" for my settings. If I used it a lot, I'll remember it; if I didn't use it a lot, I guess I won't. The sad thing is that I may not remember all the passwords that I had saved up either.
The ironic part is that I was about 2 minutes from doing a back-up when she died. I did manage to get my old hard drive and am now in the process of moving over a 30Gb+ iTunes library. Dang.
The good - All my important files are unharmed and the paper I was working on is still very much intact.
The bad - I'm really starting to miss the old default settings.
The ugly - The parental loan I had to take out a little prematurely. Good thing my parents are very understanding.
Either way, it's business semi-as-usual and I'll be able to do some much needed clean-up in the near future.
