RETURN OF THE LAPTOP JEDI: INTRODUCING THE BAT-COMPUTER 2.0!!!
Long, long ago, in a Galaxy far, far away…
THE BAT-COMPUTER’S HARD DRIVE CRASHED A WEEK BEFORE MY TRIP TO GERMANY! And then it was saved, thanks to the wonderful people at Right Enterprises (google them – they ROCK!), and by Disk Warrior – the software superhero program (lol). AND THEN it crashed again!!! :-(
Okay lemme go back to the beginning… out of the blue, just days before my Germany trip, my faithful (and essential) laptop of three years suddenly refused to boot up after a late-night studio session.
Having carried it to the highly-recommended Right Enterprises folks, they informed me that there was a hard drive error and then they totally “restored” it using the Disk Warrior program, much to my relief.
After happily picking it up the day before I left for Germany and using it normally all night… we got to Germany the next night, needed to burn a new CD for me to perform with and found that The Bat-Computer WOULDN’T boot up AGAIN!!!
Long story short, it never worked again after that and when I got back to TnT I carried it straight back to the Right people, who pronounced my old hard drive Dead On Arrival. Thankfully I found a steal of a deal on a brand new 300GB drive (thanks Kasey!) and dropped it off at Right, only to have back my beloved Bat-Computer in a few short days!
At Mom’s place (cause it was close to Right and I couldn’t wait lol), I upgraded the drive from the Tiger OS (Operating System for you non-tekkies) to Leopard (the newer/better version).
Then I used Leopard’s lovely Time Machine program to COMPLETELY RESTORE MY SYSTEM AND ALL INFORMATION to exactly the way it was the last night I backed up to my external harddrive – AKA the night BEFORE Germany. :-)
So all’s well that end’s well. Happy ending!
And, in conclusion Ladies and Gentlemen – I give you the new and improved BAT-COMPUTER 2.0!!!
