Friday May 13th (aka Friday The 13th)

[Cleo]

Friday the 13th hit me hard.

Video chip in my 17" laptop that is my workstation took a shit late Thursday. Did a walk-in at the Apple store first thing in the morning. Laptop has been sent out to have its motherboard replaced at a cost pf $310. Will have it back no later than Friday of next week.

Spent the last 24 hours setting up my old 13" laptop to be my workstation for the next week. Used the Mac migration utility to copy all my apps and everything to it from a TimeMachine backup. As of this morning, it's almost ready to start doing work on. It's old and underpowered, but better than nothing. I should have done this a long time ago just in case something like this happened. At least now I will have two laptops with all my apps and stuff on them once I get my 17" back.
