My iBook disk died today, but since I bought AppleCare the too-small, too-slow disk will be replaced at no charge. Can you say “mixed blessing?” I knew you could.
And I have an up-to-date, almost-complete backup. I say almost complete, since I left some things out of the list of files to backup (like my tasks database). But what I did backup is current as of last night.
It could be so much worse . . . .
My net cost is zero, though Apple is booking $100 in labor and $180 in repair fees. Money well spent . . .
While in the intoxicating confines of the Apple Store, I gaped in amaze at the iPod nano and the Mighty Mouse: the latter was more astonishing.
I could easily see bringing home a Mini and the Mighty Mouse, some day soon.
