or so say the service reps... apparently it was just a bad sector or two on the HD... which makes me wonder what the heck that clicking was...

Anyway, so I've got my PB back, apparently they just needed to reinstal OS X or... I'm not sure... but they didn't even wipe everything off the old HD (either that or they put it back.) Either way... I would have just said OK gimmie it back and I'll fix the problem... (I swear it was clicking though and you guys had me scared) fortunately apparently it would have cost 100 bucks but the U of M bookstore didn't even charge for some reason... I"m happy bout that too... that said soon as I open up and restart, I whip out my power adapter, and bam the part the plugs into the wall and then the brick jumps out and hits my keyboard breaking my 7 and F7 keys. Fortunately I just have to tap the little pokey thing there now... but it does make it look like my PB's been through hell and back haha... with the dings around the edges and this... I swear... I do all the things to make it look like I treat my PB like crap by accident even though I take neurotic care of it!

I'm not even going to read that until you re-write it with proper punctuation. Hitting space then period has got to be easier than those three freaking dots.

Oh, and does your license plate say "Chickn" or some such by any chance?

Except that in English, we put sentence punctuation before the space, not after. See? Like this.

I was in the U of M bookstore uhh... two weeks ago, my fam picked it up for me being out of town and what not... are you from the Peg?

Anyway, as a complete aside not related to anything else... when did Safari switch to letting you use submit buttons with the tab key? I always hated that it didn't let you do this, now it does but I've gotten used to doing things the other way... dang it!

Eh, busy as hell lately. Just conducted an impromptu drugged out stoner rescue mission last night. Went rather well. I'm contemplating dropping x now.
