I hate it when people post just to post.....

When I got a gray screen and a folder with a question mark flashing (along with a weird clicking noise) I cried, almost puked, then went to the kids computer to google gray screen + flashing folder with question mark + clicking noise and got a heap of threads from the Apple support site saying that it is likely HD failure. I almost puked again. I hadn't backed up the wedding I shot last month.

A call to tech support confirmed Dr Google's Dx.

So my hopes are now pinned on the nice, nice peeps at the local Apple fixer-upper-shop on being able to recover the data on my HD.

And as for that thread.... I think I am on someones ignore list LMAO

yuck... hope at least the photos can be recovered (and more)

they were on my ignore list for ages due to their infuriating (sp??? :confused2:) me whenever i read her incorrect info posts, but had to un-ignore people when i became a mod ... oh well, such is life ... :biggrin:

Part of the reason I didn't put my hand up to mod... I much prefer to be the source of the problem than the fixer-upper of said problem. :biggrin:

And I am far, far too fond of my ignore list to let go of it.

When are you going to sign up at the new CoffeeTalk? I have been waiting for you to sign up missy. I am Dawn Keebawls over there.

You weren't the problem, however thank god you did post. lol....

Sorry about the MAC, that is very very bad!

[Chickie 15]

The good news is it's getting fixed under warranty (bless Mr Jobs and his money grabbing Apple Care protection plan!) And apparently they guys at the shop I am taking my MacinTop to are "Creative' with the way they bill for repairs such as this, and usually get data recovery covered!

So although it is a gigantic pain in the ass (and not a 'good" type of pain) I am not going to be out any money. So that is something to be happy about.

The shitty laptop I am using till the MacinTop comes back? It's a computer. Better than nothing, right?

[Boo Boo Kitty 3]

Ya, I have a shitty laptop too, if that makes you feel better! lol...

I never buy those warranties, obviously it was worth it for you! WOO HOO!!

[travelgirl 3]

Chickie, of COURSE we want you here! Thank goodness you were posting on that OTHER thread, because I don't think those poor newbies had a chance with the OP over there... What nonsense.

I hope you get ALL your data off your old hard drive. I used to work on and fix pc's, and despised my job. I have NO patience for that kind of thing. Wait, I don't have any patience for ANYTHING! LOL!

Obvisously you weren't. I think we will let it slide this time...maybe you need more time with you band to be more educated... (DID I SAY THAT??)

I don't just know everything, I am self righteous, obnoxious and condescending too!

I still get a laugh out of that. Makes me chuckle a little every. single. time without fail.

[travelgirl 3]

Wait!!! I know what I was thinking.... That I hate it when people post just to post.

Seriously!

LOL....I wasn't referring to you, but it good to know that you qualify as well...

Somewhere between 20 and 22 months should do it.
