The iBook Story Continues

October 13, 2004 4:20 am General

So my iBook died again – apparently it crashed and couldn’t reboot itself again. Droped it into MagnumMac for them to tell me the disk is screwed and they recommended that I buy a replacement 60Gb drive, and while they could give me a quote for that, they couldn’t tell me how much effort was required to get the data off the old one. To top that off, I decided to buy Panther because all my system disk were back in Dublin, and getting them sent over would be quite a lot of pain – explaining to my parents what I wanted sent over, finding which box in the attic they might be, popping them in the post and waiting X amount of days for delivery. So my once triple booting iBook [OSX, OS9 and Debian Linux] and gone to single boot with Panther. I wonder how long I can survive without Debian on it – hell, it might make me discover neato free applications to install on it. Expensive times.

In other news, we have our second game of touch rugby on Friday. Last week we, the ‘Dodgy Marks’, narrowly lost 4-3 and I mashed my hand tripping over. My hand feels a lot better today, so hopefully it will be fine for Friday. On Saturday, it looks like I’ll play my first cricket game for Weedons, followed by Dean’s stag night. Patrick has a bbq party tonight, and with the best weather we’ve seen this season, it looks like a cracking event.
