My PC, which has been acting pretty stable after a period of dying a lot, died today pretty thoroughly.

So while contemplating (again) whether I should go order a replacement Mac or PC, I hooked up my beloved MacBook Pro… dead. Dead as Dillinger. I’m writing this while researching reasons the MacBook might not start up on my wife’s laptop and I’m deathly afraid I’ll go 3-3 today.

Update: My laptop’s back up. I feel 90% less dread-filled now. That was a pretty horrible two hours though. The space key, oddly, doesn’t quite work right: the correspondence between press and result is not quite 100% which is making tough typing really annoying. But at least it boots, which is more than I can say for my other box.
