Unbootable
« Alinea | Main | Elite Beat Agents »Last Thursday I did a Software Update and got the latest Quicktime and iTunes updates.
Last Friday I started watching a movie trailer, 1-18-08 (I am so seeing that movie, BTW), and halfway through, my machine froze.
Sad Mac.
I think that maybe my iMac was experiencing the Shock and Awe of updating prebinding. I've already had the logic board replaced once. It could again be a bad logic board. Smart money is on the shock and awe, but whatever. Either way, my primary computer is out for repair.
Thankfully I was able to backup my photos, music, documents, and most of my projects.
Once it's back from repair, I'm purchasing a ProCare card, aka the "Fuck the fact that you're a dimwit and can't figure out how to edit your iPhone contacts, I'm special" card. Honestly, I would've dropped the $99 right on the spot if the person at the Apple store would've said the magic words, "Fast Track". Upsell much? Seriously though, Apple really needs to re-think the whole service and support within Apple stores.
So, if I haven't responded to your e-mail or bug report, I'll get to it. I just ask for your patience. Thanks.
