Well, it was something a little less than a disaster, but still not great. On Thursday night I decided to buy a new laptop. That was for a few reasons, not least to keep personal stuff separate from work stuff and because I want to be able to take a computer into the theatre and the iMac isn’t ideal for that. So the next morning I went to the Apple Store in Southampton where they were happy to sell me a MacBook. I took it home, started migrating all the data from the iMac to the MacBook. Just before it completed, it stopped working. I flailed around for a while with lots of tools and configurations and it seems that the new! hard disk I installed last year has failed as well.
Smugness in some form prevails though, because, since the last failure I’ve been keeping pretty good backups so I’ve now recovered all of my important data. I’m definitely going to keep doing decent, regular backups.
