Last night my computer started acting funny, freezing on me. I'd never seen anything like it before, having had a year and 5 months of flawless performance. The freezing was intermittent, so I was able to go online and schedule an appointment with the Genius Bar (in-person tech support) for this afternoon. When I woke up this morning, the computer worked fine for awhile and I thought I might have nothing to show them at my appointment. Alas, right before I came over here, it started acting up again. I was able to surf around enough beforehand to find out that it was a recurring kernal panic. Got here to the Apple Store, they confirmed the "KP," troubleshot it, and determined that I'm having logic board failure. Not good. Computer needs to be sent off for repair. Booooooooooo! And I still had never really backed up in my life, and I've been meaning to, so I just bought a LaCie 250gb drive. They're transferring my data now, and the iBook will be sent to repair tomorrow.
Lisa says it should be back in 4-6 days. Let's hope all goes well. In the meantime, obviously, my access will be less frequent. Luckily I can plug the external drive into a friend's computer to get at my stuff if I need to. That's all for now.
