I saw this and immediately e-mailed the link to Jem who is on record as saying the MacBook Air Sucks Too. Despite being a rabid Apple fangirl, I agree with her. But as a result of being a rabid Apple fangirl, I’d get one anyway if I had the money.

Getting Back on the Wag(g)on

Remember the bad day? I found item three: hard drive failure.

Since my laptop died a death, I’ve found it hard to get back into the swing of all things laptop-related. I had managed to reinstall all my programmes only to have it die all over again forcing me to put in an older, lower capacity, hard drive which so far is working OK. I haven’t got everything reinstalled (again) yet though.I’m just so…demoralised.

Of course, it’s my own fault for not backing up weekly like I had been doing for the previous year (since the last time this happened in fact) but sod’s law definitely had a hand in my laptop failing the day before the cable for my firewire drive arrived. A day later and I’d barely have lost anything.

And of course, since the multiple HDD failures, I’ve been busy and stressed. I’ve been working at the pub for my parents, trying to sort out some stuff with the bank (45 minutes on hold at one point, and that was after I’d spent 67 minutes trying to get through to a human being) and various other things have contrived to steal all my time away from me. Right now, I’d quite like to open the top floor window of my flat and drop my MacBook the full four storeys.

Fortunately, part of me still loves it and knows that really, it’s all Seagate’s fault. I need a solid state hard drive.
