  October 03, 2008 at 06:38 ussbert Eaton is pretty nice so far although my impression may be clouded by the fact that it is cloudy, misting rain and 2 am.

  October 03, 2008 at 14:21 Jenn This is hilarious and the bear almost sounds drunk on caffeine and sugar.
•

  October 03, 2008 at 15:29 robreed Trying to 'fix' a hard drive huh... sounds suspicious.
• 
  October 03, 2008 at 15:59 ussbert not fix, get the data off, no go though, gary's HD died and he ended up buying a used powerbook i think but lost all his stuff
• 
  October 03, 2008 at 17:24 robreed OK well that sounds like something that can happen at least. Fixing a HD is sort of nonsensical. Anyway, rule number 1 don't ever use a HD

  October 03, 2008 at 17:25 robreed you suspect may be having problems. If you have to install on OS on a separate drive so you can boot the computer
• 
  October 03, 2008 at 17:25 robreed and treat it like a forensic recovery from the failing drive. Only touch the drive for the purposes of getting data off. If the drive.
• 
  October 03, 2008 at 17:27 robreed No backup Gary? Sounds like something he should pay the bear to do while you're there. Set up a robust backup plan for the new computer.
• 
  October 03, 2008 at 17:27 robreed How much trust do you put in the hard drive in a used powerbook?
• 
  October 03, 2008 at 17:29 robreed Apple hasn't made a powerbook since 2006, which means the drive is probabaly 3 - 4 years old. Time to replace the drive.
• 
  October 03, 2008 at 17:29 robreed Does he want to buy a MacBook?
• 
  October 03, 2008 at 17:29 robreed hint hint
• 
  October 03, 2008 at 17:30 robreed Anyway, set up decent onsite backup using something like Apple's Time Machine and then couple that with secure offsite backup to some online
• 
  October 03, 2008 at 17:30 robreed provider.
• 
  October 03, 2008 at 17:30 robreed Then buy a new HD for the PowerBook
• 
  October 03, 2008 at 17:38 robreed You can get a 120GB drive, which is probably a very significant upgrade, for $60. The bear can charge him $100, which is less than he'd pay

  October 03, 2008 at 17:38 robreed someplace like Best Buy to do the same thing. Everyone wins.
