A message from Steve?

So with suspicious timing, on Wednesday, day of the launch of the iPad, my venerable MacBook Pro (born circa 2006) decided to succumb to a seizure and is currently in a hard disk induced coma. A message from Steve to buy his latest toy?

Somewhat more suspiciously, Alice’s much younger MacBook Pro decided to do precisely the same just yesterday. We’ve had to dust off the old PowerBook G4 12” – the screen of which looks pretty much identical to the size of the iPad.

Having watched the various “how to” tutorials on replacing the hard drive yourself, and recalling my sadly failed attempt to repair a Fuji FinePix camera (which ended with a puff of smoke) and my over-industrious attempt to repair a Dell laptop on the fly floor of the Chicago Lyric Opera some years ago (which involved me removing 27 microscopic screws only to find that I needed only to have removed six), we decided to let the pros at Boulder Mac Repair do the job instead.

Hence, am slightly behind plan on all things virtual this week. However, assuming I can get working on my desktop this weekend, I should still be on track to distribute TPE for iPhone beta during the first part of next week.
