I Hate Computers

I moved to Apples for one major reason. They just work. What I hate is the fact that I, like all my customers, am just as prone to harddrive failure as the rest. And I, like my less knowledgable patrons, am reluctant to spend money on a resolute backup procedure.

And here I am, d*$# in my hand, 1 in the morning, staring at a dead PowerMac and cursing the light of day.

I hate harddrives. You'd think a harddrive that's SIX YEARS OLD would last another six.

That's sarcasm. I should've been smarter than that. I'm just thankful I didn't have anything of consequence on the machine. Makes me leary of this laptop harddrive. I'd probably pop a hole in my skull with a small caliber handgun should I lose this harddrive.

Which makes me think about the fact that I haven't backed up since Feb 16. Hmmm.

This is just to blow off some steam. If I don't deal with this tonight, it's going to be Monday before I can do anything with it again.

Night. I'll be up for a while.
