My laptop is sick. Yesterday I started having the first serious issue I’ve had with my PowerBook. I figure two years with almost zero problems is pretty good, so I’m not too upset, but is is a bit of a pain. On the plus side, I was able to do a full backup, so I’m not worried about losing anything.

I was happily using my laptop when all of a sudden it totally froze up and I had to power it off. When I tried to turn it back on, nothing happened. After trying every troubleshooting step I could think of with no results, I called Apple support. They weren’t able to help, so they told me to bring it to the Genius Bar. And here I am.

Hopefully they’ll be able to clear things up quickly!

Update: Well, they weren’t able to figure anything out here, so my PowerBook is on its way to Apple. Have a safe trip!

Also, I’m trying out a Mighty Mouse here and I want to like it. I mean, I drink the Apple Kool-Aid, right? This mouse just doesn’t feel right though. To make the side buttons activate, I have to push way harder than I expect. The scroll ball also has issues — it’s not very responsive and feels too small. II really like the idea of the Mighty Mouse, but the implementation is a bit too meh.

But three to seven days without my computer… how will I survive?
