Terrible Excuses
It seems that I was struck with something that few care and almost every mac user fears.
Kernel Panics.
Two days ago, my iBook fell two feet onto a wooden floor. While this was distressing at first, it seemed fine from it’s ordeal. But, as the hours went on one thing kept on happening. First, a little kernel panic. Then it got worse, a lot worse, until the mac wouldn’t boot at all and only booted into Open Firmware.
I had to reformat the entire thing, and still the kernel panics remained.
I lost all of my data. All of my work (except the music, photos and important documents I leave on my external hard drive). But my web design work is gone. My applications. Even the podcast I was working on. Not so good.
I hope to get things rectified as soon as possible, as I weed through all of my computer’s recovered documents, and on friday finish off the designs I was working on so hard on each of my websites. I have the time, as I have to travel down to Newcastle to sort out a problem.
P.S. This is an airport error which seems to be a bit better now. However, I have realised while searching the net that I am only one of hundreds that have the same error with the same model of iBook. And while this is a serious error caused by many different causes (many surprisingly), Apple has not noticed it. Oh well, in a week’s time I’ll be using a MacBook anyway.
Wish me luck.
