More spam concerning my computer woes
Okay, I just called the nice people at Mac 911, and the little man said it sounded like a problem common to iBooks, in which the "logic card" (he said it in French, I don't know what the real name in English is) goes wonky.
If I bring it in on Monday, they'll be able to do a diagnostic by Thursday, and tell me if that's the problem. If that's the case, Mac pays for the repairs up to three years after the original purchase date, even if the warranty has expired. w00t!
If it's not that, then it'll cost $40 for the consultation, and then we'll see.
So, hopefully
fearsclave's friend EKH will be able to help me out on Sunday. If not, I shall bring Cleo to Mac 911 and let them do their thing.
I'm going to see if I can get the computer to work long enough tonight to bring it to my parents' place and "borrow" my father's extra disk drive. Maybe I'll be able to back up some of my stuff.
