So, it's Tuesday morning and Gori Do is on its way to Austin, Texas, or wherever it is Apple is sending wayward portables with heat-sink issues. I tried to post a video of myself just before I handed it in at the Apple Store in Walnut Creek yesterday afternoon, but I may have uploaded the wrong file. :-(
That's me at the Apple Store in Walnut Creek yesterday afternoon, right before Antoine at the Genius Bar turned to me and broke down the meaning of that clicking noise my five-week-old Gori's Seagate Momentus 60-gig hard drive started making earlier in the day.
It came with a year warranty. I'd popped for AppleCare as well. A replacement's ordered. But a metric fuckload of last weekend's pictures are gone. That is, unless I care to spend at least $500 for five-to-seven-days' turnaround at DriveSavers.
And a 500-gigabyte Firewire drive sits on my desk at home, nigh well useless, for as often as I'd been in the habit of backing up my PowerBooks' contents, who, I ask, expects failure five weeks into an uncrated item's life?
