Hello everyone!

In my previous post I rambled on about my older computer crapping out on me and while it was still scary since it's the second time it has happened I had a better idea of what to do and what the problem was.

Bottom line:
That macbook pro was 4 years old, a 2007 model running on Tiger OS, it was about time for me to move on with life technology.

That would mean finally getting a new and very much needed macbook pro, which I just picked up today. Can't lie that I'm excited because I've been wanting the Lion OS ever since it came out!

I'm still getting the hang of not needing to be plugged in to a power source and I will finally be able to sync my iphone to my computer! Yes, all this time I never synced or backed-up my iphone because Tiger just did not accept change.

All that's left to do is to get my hands on the softwares (Adobe programs, Microsoft Office) and life will be back to normal. Blog entries will also be right back on track after that! Aside from photoshop I have no clear clue what to use to resize and watermark images so that's a missing piece right now.

If anyone happens to be wondering about what happened and what I did (for reference maybe?) you can read the grey portion but if it doesn't interest you, just skip it!

Crash Report (hurhur)
I didn't get my macbook diagnosed at Sapura again, because you'll have to pay a diagnosis fee of $80 and I wasn't even sure if I wanted to pay for anything on the old macbook anymore. Aside from repair which will probably be about 1.2k (from previous crash experience) I can get a new set and then have the old hard disk removed and use a mount/adapter to read it. Sapura mentioned that the process of removing the hard disk will probably cost me S$100. I then went over to the Apple distributor (Multimedia, across Sapura) and they are able to remove the hard disk for me, for free! So long as I buy my laptop with them, which was what I planned to do. As for the mount/adaptor, you can get a basic model from CH (2 stores down Mutlimedia) for S$25 because the Multimedia sells the more complicated ones at about 100 plus.

So at the end of it, I bought the mount/adaptor, brought my laptop to Multimedia to remove the Hard disk and got a new macbook pro from them!

While it was a mini heart attack of my laptop crashing, I guess it was about time and my laptop was trying to use some tough love to prove its point.

Thanks for reading!

Yes for the second time...

Mac's blue screen of death...

So here I sit, typing up this entry in HTML from my phone, which keeps trying to autocorrect the codes. Ugh! Why are things either getting weird or going wrong the minute I get a breather. Life loves keeping me on my toes and i don't appreciate it.

Its the second time my mac pro has crapped out on me like this so I'm not freaking out too bad but who am I kidding, I'm still flustered!

Fingers are crossed but if it's the exact same motherboard issue then my files and pictures are safe. I'm more worried about projects and the inbetween laptop-less period now - deadlines, working files! All that aside I can only hope to get a functional laptop asap.

Getting it checked at Sapura first thing tomorrow but honestly I am weighing the options of repairing it versus getting a new set. A new set makes so much sense because my laptop is 4 years old but I'll need to get all my software, fonts etc everything running again. Oh the bother!

Before I start rambling I better end this. Just thought I would drop a note on here! Was going to put up 2 entries tonight but I guess those pics will have to sit tight in the SD Card for now. Things just never go according to plan huh :(

Thanks for reading my ramble/tech-grief.
