Annals of Computing



For a glorious 48 hours, it appeared that I had repaired my laptop.  Then this morning, it was all foobar again.   It appears I ran yesterday's victory lap too soon.

The pros have it now.  They've already diagnosed the problem (failing hard drive) and expect to have the computer back to me with a new, improved solid state HD tomorrow, plus whatever other problems they diagnose.

I already feel so much better knowing the computer is now in professional hands.  Note to self: next time this happens (and there will be a next time, I'm sure), just take it in to the shop first thing, and stop pretending you're an IT expert.

Onyx are my go to IT people. Years ago, the Apple so-called-experts recommended them when they were too busy to see me. Never went back to the Apple store. Last time I was there I felt very reassured because they had a cable taped up with electrical tape, just like me. Also, someone had brought their dog to work with them. Big plus for you - they’re right around the corner :-)
