[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 3310629, member: 6562"] She served me well for three years. Then, this weekend, apparently her hard drive and mother board both failed on the same night -- when I awoke, she had frozen, and she could not boot up. :( Apple will replace everything (mo'bo, HD, and three missing little rubber feet) for like $300, which is fantastic, but the data looks to be gone for good. It's a good excuse to get a new MacBook Pro ( :) ), but I will miss my data. A lot. Particularly my campaign notes. So, I post this on my "gamebox" PC instead of my favorite Mac laptop. I'm very pleased at Apple's customer service (well, at their quick diagnosis and asking price anyway), but not happy at all that my last backup is over a month old. My own fault really. Anyway. Moving from a G4 to an Intel-based MacBook Pro, anything I should know? Anyone have good or bad experiences with their Macs recently? Cheers, -- N [/QUOTE]
