[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1224293, member: 59143"] Here's perhaps some irony. Remember how I said that it looks like I might have to use my Apple Care again this week? My MacBook Pro just totally crashed... just a hard crash, and here's what's been leading up to it, I guess: I have no real idea as to how long the problem has been dwelling, since the only indication of the issue occurs when I click on the battery status in the main menu bar. The battery indicator status tells me that it is in need of "service". The battery isn't that old, and the logic board was replaced last year. Anyway, I was running the Mac on battery power only, status showed about an hours worth of juice left, give or take a few minutes. I was flipping through photos in Flickr and then all of a sudden, with no warning whatsoever.. .the MBP just died! I rebooted, and then saw something I had never seen before. Freaked me out a bit... I saw a globe, (of the earth) followed by a folder icon with a question mark on it, flashing, and finally, the spinning wheel. Didn't last very long, and finally booted normally but still... I treat my machines extremely well and see no reason for this to be happening. I'll be making an appointment to visit the Genius bar perhaps tomorrow. Doug [/QUOTE]
