so ok, i just posted earlier today about the imac of my dreams, right? well about fifteen minutes ago, my g5 gave the first of what is sure to be several death rattles on its way to dying. i kid you not.
system diagnostics say there’s something wrong with the board and the hard drive has been returning SMART failure since i got it in september of last year. i’ve back up the important stuff to a portable drive (thanks mike!) and if it dies, i’m not losing everything as i have the last three times this has happened.
on the other hand, if this dies, i’m unable to work (i work from home, it’s a virtual company), so i’m a bit on the spastic side trying to figure out what the hell i’m going to do.
synchronicities aside, the timing of this could not possibly be worse. it really sucks.
