My hard drive crash, again. Technically it is not the same hard drive but you get the point. I have made a back up since the end of April so I've lost most* of my summer work, most** of my music and all*** of my videos. Fortunately I sent a first draft of a project I was working on to my boss and a co-worker last week so I won't have to re-write it. It makes me ill to think of everything I've lost from the last three months.
Note to self: back up work weekly.
The last thing I need right now is "Macs are evil" speeches from PC users so if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. I hate Windows so much even two crashed hard drives will not deter me from purchasing another Mac. Two hard drives? That's amateur compared to the tomfoolery I've had to put up with PCs personally and professionally.
*All except my website work which I can download from the server.
** all except what is on my iPod.
*** Good thing I purchased Dr Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog on DVD for the extra features even though I bought it on iTunes.
Blows. Are mac hard drives also proprietary devices are an open standard? (Honestly don't know. I use Dorkux.)
ReplyDeleteare = or are they. I'm basically trying to ask if you can choose another manufacturer.
ReplyDeleteSeems to me when they get it right they are awesome and easy, but if not, you might be SOL.
On the plus side, time machine supposed to be the bomb in terms of ease-of-use.
You do not get to choose what brand of hard drive you have in your computer. I have a couple friends with CS degrees and they've given me some ideas for trying to recover the data myself. I certainly have nothing more to lose by trying.
