It’s Dead Jim

Or rather I have a feeling that will be the call when I get it to the Genius Bar at the Mac Store. Liquid went into the iBook while it was on and I think it is fried. So I am down one computer. Peter, who is proofreading a book, is letting me have time on his computer to type this and any other Internet thing I need to do that I can’t do on the iPad. The pain, of course, is the hard drive which was backed up two weeks ago. If I can’t get the stuff off the hard drive, then those things are lost to the ages including some photos which is sad but there it is.
I would be doing all this today but it is snowing at a rather rapid rate and seems like it is not slowing down anytime soon however it is suppose to switch over to rain later making a lovely slushy Sunday. So I think I am looking at Monday as my earliest attempt to get it fixed.
UPDATE:Peter did get it up and running for a little while but then it went black again so it can work just need to get it TO work. Which is going to be a trip to the Genius Bar on Monday at 12:30. I do love being able to make a reservation. I have a feeling that this is going to take a while to fix.
So I will be spending less time on the Internet for the foreseeable future. Which is probably a good thing over all. I might get some other stuff done finally.
I am grateful that we did get it to work even for 15 minutes.
Ugh. Sorry to hear it.
For what it’s worth, my MacBook got a bit of water inside it a few weeks ago, and it turned out to be fine. Depending on how much and what kind of liquid you ran afoul of, you might be okay. Good news about the hard drive, certainly — good luck!
