July 23, 2004 - NYC

     The Apple Store techs in Manhattan said the hard drive was corrupted and unsalvagable.  They could replace it in a week or so but all the data would be lost.  Not the best of news.

     This seemed a good time to update my computer, so I came home with a new 15-inch powerbook, which, to tell the truth, I had been thinking of doing for some time.  And despite Apple's proclamations of doom, I was able to transfer all the files from the old computer to the new one.  It was "like I never left home."  The only thing missing was the few hours of down time when I couldn't do anything with the old computer.  As nearly as I can tell, however, no data were lost.

     I'm still inclined to end the daily reports, however.  I hope the new computer will be more tolerant of that.
