I wasn't happy last night to hear a horrible grinding sound from the general location of my computer's hard drive, then to seedreaded flashing question mark after I rebooted. Diagnosis: one fried hard drive.

On the other hand, it was good to know that my beloved PowerBook is still covered by Apple Care (= new free hard drive) and that I backed everything up fairly recently (= only losing a few pictures of the baby).

Still, five days without the machine is going to be hard. What do people who don't have PowerBooks and broadband do in the evening after the baby goes to sleep?
