My powerbook died this weekend. The 12 inch silver lovely is no more, hopefully a new hard drive will sort it out…

If anyone has emailed me I apologise for late replies.

TTFN.

My powerbook has been a bit wonky since I bought it; that’ll teach me to be an early adopter.

Bless. Are you going to bury the old hard drive in the garden?

[...] So, at the weekend the ‘funny noise’ that kept coming from Bobble’s Powerbook was revealed as being not the fan, but in fact the hard drive tearing itself to shreds (erk). However, help is at hand as we did have a recent back-up and a new HD has now arrived. Tonight I have the fun job of following the somewhat complicated instructions to replace it. [...]
