A moment of silence, please, for my dead hard drive

at least it's under warranty, and they're sending someone to pick it up so I can get a hard drive transplant.
(If this ain't a commercial for buying an extended warranty, I don't know what is.)
2 nights ago I drove the length of Alabama to reach SoWal....now that's a dead, hard drive.

My laptop went into a vegetative state this evening--gray screen, won't boot up.

I called the 800 number, and they told me to go online. Do those bat-turds assume that I have a crappy PC to back up my laptop? (If so, they're right, but that's beside the point.)

Thank GAWD I had already emailed the work I had done to myself. (I have a frickin' recital hearing tomorrow, which requires extensive, quadruple-edited, footnoted program notes.)

SWGB, your box of chocolate is in peril right now. Or maybe I'll go straight for the Xanax.

:bang:

Is it a Toshiba?

No--I hate to identify it because I really have LOVED it. It's fast, virus-free, easy to use, lightweight, and has a name that reminds me of both the Garden of Eden and Ronald McDonald...

And I gotta say that once you get a-hold of customer service, they are incredible. I've heard stories of people getting routed to India with Dell's customer service. I had to hang up earlier today before we identified the problem because I had to go teach a class, but my little customer service dude sent me 3 detailed emails trying to fix my computer. In trying to get it fixed, I was sent to 5 different people. All of them were courteous and helpful. I would buy another Mac in a heartbeat. (But I won't have to...:D)

I am converting to a Macbook in a few weeks I think. My 6 mo. old PC is barely operable. Glad to hear from a credible source (you).

Good thing you didn't identify it! :rotfl:
