Back in the Saddle (Again)

OK, things are looking a lot smoother this morning. I've been able to get everything I needed from TimeMachine, the laptop is running well, it's got another 180GB of storage (up to 500GB from 320GB) which is always helpful, and things are coming back into a comfortable swing.

In this experience, I have to say the surprising moments were these:

  • The Apple Store had no drives. Why on earth not?
  • The drive was only $129 at Fry's. Again, so inexpensive, why not have a few on hand, Apple?
  • The replacement of the drive was easy. Thanks, Apple. It could have been a lot worse.
  • The original drive was a lemon because it didn't even last a year. Sad, but it happens.

So things are kicking right along. I've got a lot of little things to watch today and it should be a nice, easy day.

It's good to be back in the saddle.
