Shitting Apple
Oh God this is so not happening. My ibook is shitting on me and I can't say if it's a good or bad thing. At least it didn't crap up on me while I'm 5000 miles away from home in a winter "wonderland". Which means if I get it fixed before I leave, it'll be as good as new. Now the only thing is, what if they can't get it fixed before the 16th? Even if they got it done by the 15th, I still have to reinstall the Microsoft Office, along with my Adobe Photoshop, Toast Titanium, Norton Anti-virus, MSN/AOL chat programmes. And are they still going to give me back my iGarage, iMovie, Appleworks (which was bundled free when I first bought my ibook)?
Now I wonder what had caused the sudden lag. I tried to perform a disk cleanup, but no, it isn't as simple as right-clicking and then doing a defragment of the hard disk. I had to go to Apple.com, search for the forums, plough through the many questions people post, to find out that you can do regular maintenance by downloading a software which will clear your caches and cookies and what-not for you. Now, I'm no computer expert, I don't even know my Mac OS X is a Tiger or a Panther, so I'm not sure if I downloaded the wrong damning software that caused this sudden retardness of my ibook.
I am so bloody frustrated! Not exactly in one of my perfect moods today, in fact, I couldn't be anymore irritable than this. I hope she's just throwing a one-day tantrum, because I am gripped with panic (again) at the thought of losing her before/during/after my trip. I hope it's not because I went out to buy a 60Gb external hard disk to store all my precious FYP photos and so she decided to give her 80Gb space a break with this persistence of hanging or not letting programmes run at all. Machines know I tell you.
Like my old trusty Jimny before it got scrapped. It wasn't in the best condition and decided to fail on me even more when he knew I was going to find another companion. So there, I believe machines have some kind of life of their own.
Or maybe it's because someone has been bad mouthing Mac platforms and so she decided to throw a diva bitch fit at me to get back at my very dear but very opinionated friend.
Urgh, as I am typing this and glancing occasionally at the desktop of my ibook, the bloody colour wheel, which indicates "loading" is having hell of a time spinning away. None of my desktop elements are loaded. Other than my dock, nothing else shows. Even then, any attempt to click anything on the dock is futile.
As if I don't have enough things to worry about now...
*miffed to the max*
