    I like the minimalism of the whole experience, and the contrast of such a high-tech device held captive by a simple trashcan.

    hope the angels are able to restore it to health...

    *pats nathan, sympathising with his loss*

    hard drive failure seems strange in something so new but *shrugs*... anything can happen i guess.

    *holds back laughter*

    Alas it has died, and thus - as the wise man said - smite it and cast it into the pit of brimstone and treacle.

    From TUAW:

    "I'm surprised the Genius didn't make it boot in verbose/text mode.

    Apparently it would get to the Apple boot screen, but didn't get any further. Text-mode boot would have shown what was actually going on."

    I'll take it off your hands if you don't want it.

    rm -rf /.Trashes/ indeed

  23. dee_r (84 months ago | reply)

    my sympathies....hope they fix it...cause Macs are great...rare to hear of one that goes south, so to speak...

  24. m iledan (84 months ago | reply)

    WTF @ all the people wanting to buy it from you.

  25. Jedi David (84 months ago | reply)

    Don't know which one to feel sorry for, Nathan or the Machine.

  26. nathan makan (84 months ago | reply)

    Well we were both damaged by this, although MacBook Pro will have a new brain soon enough, and will not remember much.

    Congratulations! This image is currently (or was recently) one of Flickr's most interesting photos for 20 Jun 2006. (It is on page one of the calendar view.) Would you please add it to the Top 10 Interestingness pool? It would be a great addition!

    wow, i really have no idea if getting your pic on those websites is any kind of achievement, but i wonder if i take a picture of my trash can the same will happen.....hmm let's see, there are some old candles, some dead flowers, some incense ash, food wrapers. Anyone interested?....no?!

  34. nikf (84 months ago | reply)

    Nathan,

    You're too much of a fan boy to ever bin your MacBookPro (note use of correct name) ;)

  35. nathan makan (84 months ago | reply)

    If you post a picture I will make a £5 bet that it will appear on 3 websites :)

  36. Rachel Rakes (84 months ago | reply)

    well now, don't get clever with me...and take that cheeky grin off your face! :P

  37. nathan makan (84 months ago | reply)
