From my iPhone ! That's right ladies and gentlemen , kids of all ages MY Mac IS BACK ! As I write this my beloved machine is getting a brain transplant via carbon copy and in a matter of an hour or so it will be good as new. That was the longest 7 months and 8 days of my life !

Oh and the stuff a 17 year old college freshman put on a hard drive is just not right ! I mean 25 gigs of this stuff he call music today ! A term paper on the social ramifications of columbus day ? Emails with xxxoooo.....

Any way I must go so I can watch it come back to life! Now.....where did I put that pixxie dust.......

Were the words "like", "u" and "r" common as well?

Congrats on getting the Mac back. How you managed those IRC conversations with the iPhone is impressive.

You must be an expert on the phone now. I'm still a index finger guy.

Am sure it'll be nice to have your rig back.

So glad you got your Mac back!

Your thread title scared me at first. Thought you were leaving the forums! :D Glad I was wrong!

I use the iPhone in Landscape view and wear Magnifier Glasses if the text gets too tiny. It gets rid of any eyestrain for me at least.

Anyway again glad you can enjoy your Macbook once again. You are a very kind person to loan it out like that! :D

Bobtomay, I use my two index fingers but am pretty fast with them especially in Landscape. I can 30-35 WPM on a good night and even faster sometimes. Some people use their thumbs. That is awkward for me.

Aw! First the good news: You get your Mac back. Yea!

Now the bad news: You lost your excuse to be the first on your block with an iSlate.

Timing is everything! ;)
