What do you mean, c'est la vie? C'est la vie en pomme, you mean.

you know, stable again. "Like my Linux box used to be." What's the message there Norm?

I think the message is mostly that I'm feeling cranky. Having a laptop crash randomly on a weekly or semi-weekly basis is seriously irritating. Losing a day recovering email caused by such a crash is seriously irritating.

Of course, to the extent that the underlying cause is a hardware problem, it's not really OS X's fault.

I don't feel like renaming this weblog "Norm's gripes about broken hardware" so I won't post a new essay. But for those following along, the Mac needed more than a new disk. Maybe lots more. It'll be off at repair for a week. (Except this is the holiday season, so who knows how long a week will actually be.)

I spent all of yesterday afternoon configuring my desktop box to be a usable workstation again. Thank goodness that Linux can read HFS disks and SuperDuper! doesn't store backups in any kind of weird encrypted or compressed format.

This morning, my almost brand new LCD monitor died. That means I'm working on a partially configured machine with a small, hard-to-read monitor. Bah, humbug!

My MBP purchased in August 2007 Tiger (Santa Rosa) and upgraded in november into leopard began showing a very serious slowdowns (JANUARY 2008), some applications have lost their icons and did not want to start. The log files informed on malformated files and the error code disk0s2: 0xe0030005 (UNDEFINED). appeared several times. Apple Care had to replace the hard disk (160GB 7200trs)

Local Apple Care insisted my problem wasn't hardware. I've only had one crash since I rebuilt. Maybe they were right. I'm thinking I might take the leap to Leopard soonish.
