My iBook Died on Me (Again) and So as My iMac
December 20th, 2006
Last Sunday, when I got back from church, I found my iMac powered off. This is very weird, since I never, unless I wanted to, turn my iMac off. And remembering that Trixie had the same experience a few days back, I figured out that something did went wrong. And that was proven when it unwantedly powered itself off the second I logged my account in. This could be a faulty power supply, or a logic board. Oh please, let it be the power supply!
Anyway, I backed all my recent projects to Nyonyo’s PowerMac and hoped that it didn’t power off before everything was copied. I also backed up some files to my newly fixed iBook with its supposedly-brand-new logic board, hoping that I don’t have to use the PC to continue my daily work. Unfortunately, my iBook repeats it’s destruction on me again, so here I am, at the same time, losing both my Macs for a while, and stuck on a PC. Trust me, migrating to a Mac for year and back to a PC does feel awkward. I started to look for Expose and Dock, and using Control-Click to interact with it… Geez… Thankfully, before I migrated a year ago, I put the start menu on the top of the screen, so I guess wouldn’t miss finder that much.
This could probably the time for us to buy a Network Attached Storage, so that when things like this happens, we could access our files from just about any computer.
Tomorrow, my iMac (at least) is supposed to have its power supply replaced. I can just hope that the power supply is the last of my problems. My other biggest problem would be this everlasting cough that I’ve been having for almost a week!
