Sorry everyone, I've been falling behind on the releases lately.. I've just been very busy with work. Anyway, I had some free time last night, which doesn't come along often, so I thought I'd work on some projects I've been wanting to start. I sit down at my computer after doing about 11 hours in the office only to find that my computer won't start up, I hear it start up, but I don't get my screen to turn on. I've had this problem happened in the past, so I thought, "Meh, it'll go back to normal..." after a about an hour of restarts, I finally pop in the install DVD and start it up... My screen turns back on and the installer starts. I run Disk Utility and begin a permission repair which fails, Disk repair fails, Archive and install fails... then the HD won't even show up... I can't exactly erase and install because I've got some important stuff on my HD (of course) sadly I hadn't set up my Time Capsule yet, and therefore.... no back-up for moi... Only some stuff I have on my iPod...
I bought my 24" iMac last september, I've sent it in for a repair twice, had the HD replaced and the video card replaced... Normally I would just send it in again, but time is money, and getting a Mac repaired when you live two hours from the closest repair center isn't exactly quick. Last repair took about a month! I've got a huge project for the City.... a bunch of small ads, and a couple brochures to do... some of which needs to be done by the end of the month...
I had no choice but to order a new iMac, which I'll get this weekend, but until then... I definitely won't have anything to share with all of you.. On the upside, I'll have a shiny new iMac for my desk....
Also, just wanted to thanks everyone for my 3000 page views, wish I had more stuff to showcase though...
Peace, Love & Soul
