Grieving my Mac


It is a sad time in the life of Sonny . . .

My beloved Mac had a little accident. It fell from the counter-top to our tile floor. My computer bag was on the island in the kitchen, unbuckled, and while unattended fell over . . . and out slipped the MacBook Pro (tear tear sniff sniff)And, although the computer programming still works just fine, the CD/DVD disc drive/burner is the part it landed on and it is royally bent.

I took it in to the Mac store for the prognosis on my sweet Mac, and it was sad. Although not terminal . . . quite pricey. $885 to be exact. I even have the 3 year protection plan . . . which doesn't cover stupid human mistakes.

Don't you just HATE it when stuff like this happens? Stuff that was a COMPLETE accident, yet so easily could have been avoided? Now I am computerless - relying soley on outside sources to get my work done. It's a helpless feeling.

Here's to you MacBook Pro! May you be as good as new in 5-7 business days!

Oh the sadness. If it was a PC, you would be like, "Oh well."

this Mac injury is much more devastating.
Mark VW needs to hook you up with new MB PRO, and soon!

Sonny,
I am a friend of Olivia's and a MAC lover. What a sad day for you and your Mac. Crazy thing is that something similar just happened to me. About two weeks ago my husband was working in the basement listening to the radio on my MacBook and in a chain of events my mac book went crashing onto the cement floor. The hard drive and all programs were fine, however the screen was shattered. The cost to fix it $800. What a sad day!! But, like you, life was not the same without my mac book and it had to be fixed. I feel your pain.
