Heard of Typhoid Mary?
Well, you can now call me Electron Bermuda Triangle Dot.
When my Mac started making a weird whirring noise a few days ago, I, of course, being a Total Technical Idiot, blithely ignored it.
So away it whirred.
It whirred until it died. Kaput. Gone! As in MY HARDDRIVE IS FRIED AND I DIDN’T BACK UP!
In the next few days, the PC laptop I was using spaced. My friend Ed’s computer that he’d been using without incident for months, suddenly gave him trouble (but only because I’d been seeing him every day). And when Jay tried to do some extreme computing at home today, he was thwarted. (He’s now in the office, far from Black Hole Dot.)
The good news, as you can see, is that I have my Mac back (thanks to Jay and a whole new harddrive).
Unfortunately, Miss No-Back-Up lost a whole lot of information.
“Dot, why didn’t you back up when your computer started making the noise?” Jay asked.
Quiet sobbing.
