A Sad Day In Computer History

I could have cried, last night. It was a sad day in history.

I was surfing the internet when my computer began to freak out. Randomly, it decided to it shut itself down, and froze in the process. "No, biggie. It'll be alright," I told myself. I quickly restarted my seven month old Macbook Pro. My previously pristine computer went through it's normal boot screens and froze again. "Crap," I said to myself! Instantly, I got nervous. After doing some research, and having one of the university's I/T people inspect my computer, I came to learn that there's an issue with my hard drive. Of course my computer revealed that information, after the fact, by flashing a picture of a folder with a question mark on it.

At this point, I'm glad I learned my lesson in the past. Prior to purchasing my Mac, I had this really bad Compaq: the motherboard fried. It cost a hundred or so dollars to have all the information on my PC backed up. Then, I had to deal with those scheming technicians at Best Buy's "Geek Squad." I will never do that again! Not to long after the incident with my Compaq, I bought an external hard drive and began to back up all my information it. My Mac was no exception. With the help of "time machine" I began to save my information VERY FREQUENTLY! Moreover, I purchased the 3 year warranty with my mac. Apple's are an investment! They ARE pricey, but they do their job well... Unforeseen, random, mishaps like this are the exception.

I sit here, on the library's weak ass PC (lol), feeling pretty good about this whole ordeal. My information is safe and my machine is on a warranty. I don't think I could be in better shape. I just hope it doesn't take a million years for my Mac to return. It's like my child!
