Bad times

I dont want to sound like im moaning but i'll probably do a good job of it. After weeks of solid university work, revision, essays, programming etc my MBP decided to stop working after the 10.4.11 update didnt install properly. Im in my final year and i really dont need this right now Two of my flatmates have Macs and i swear they treat them like crap - installing everything that comes along without a second thought, clogging their hard drives up with downloaded music and naughty videos, never running any form of maintainence tasks or cleaning thingys. Im the exact opposite and take care of my Mac the best i possibly can. Im practically an obsessive compulsive when it comes to stuff like this!

Yet it's MY Mac that breaks! Where's the fairness in that i ask you?! Now i have to have it sent away for repairs (which will no doubt take an age). I swear someone up there doesn't like me.

It is sad to hear... in my opinion that's just the irony of life. I've seen bad things happen to ppl who really take care of them self (or other things). Life just sucks sometimes

If Karma has anything to say about it, when their 40 both of their houses will burn down while yours remains blissfully ok.

that sucks man, maybe you can take your hard drive to a place that can recover the files, or use one of your friends mac to firewire to your hd on you mac.
