Not good – not good at all

This drive has reported a fatal hardware error to Disk Utility..jpg

My MacBook is dead. It just committed Seppuku.

I put in a DVD containing some software and it, and…

Ok, so it wasn’t quite that dramatic. But the DVD drive and hard drive are well and truly OJ’ed. Which makes the machine pretty much useless. Unless you enjoy looking at a blank grey screen.

I’ve also lost a few documents and files – nothing major, as pretty much everything was on my iMac anyway. But I had spent a considerable amount of time setting it up the way I wanted it – and a day trying to fix it.

Apple are going to replace it – they say it’ll take a week but I’m sceptical given that it’s a configure-to-order machine, and the new one will need to be shipped out from China.

Oh, capitalism. How you mock me.

    If that’s the brand new one I saw last week then that sucks mate. It doesn’t bode well if it conked out so quickly.

    And what have I told you about watching illegal horse porn on your computer??
