Obsolete Your Idols » mini http://blog.manjusri.org Book Reviews and Blather Wed, 06 Jul 2011 18:46:43 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Gratitude http://blog.manjusri.org/2009/06/19/gratitude/ http://blog.manjusri.org/2009/06/19/gratitude/#comments Fri, 19 Jun 2009 22:33:40 +0000 binder http://blog.manjusri.org/?p=187 So something awesome happened this morning.  The hard drive in Vy’s computer died.

That’s not the awesome part.  The awesome part is that because I took the advice of jwz AND paid for the SuperDuper program AND consulted the wise and informative ifixit.com site, I was able to restore her system with no data loss.  That’s pretty awesome.

So I wanted to say how thankful I am to jwz for his great advice, to the fine coder(s?) behind ShirtPocket who made a program which does well what it says it will do and the technicians at iFixit who are able to explain clearly and usefully exactly how to get into the guts of Mac hardware.  I couldn’t have had a morning this awesome without all of you.  Keyboard cat, play us some Danny Halfelf.
