I'm starting to get really suspicious of Mac laptops. I bought a macbook in 2006, and it completely imploded in 2009, Complete death just weeks after my warranty expired. I lost a TON of stuff (lesson learned about backing up). I got the hard drive replaced and gave it to my parents, bought a spiffy new one for myself.
NOW the hard drive in the old one just imploded today. I feel really bad because I think my parents lost some stuff. And my own laptop that I bought in late 2009 is starting to act wonky. I back it up like a paranoiac every week, but I can barely use it (beachballs so much) and it keeps telling me I'm almost out of memory and I need to delete files. I bought more RAM (mainly so I could upgrade Adobe suite) and was hoping I'd get some more storage space out of that. No luck. So between that and the beachballing ... I have a very bad feeling that this one is going to implode anytime soon.
Why are these laptops dying RIGHT after they pass the three-year warranty mark? I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, but I don't like this coincidence. It smells to me.
