Murphy's Law

I had a mid-semester paper due for my ethics class this afternoon so my computer decided to break down this morning!!

The hard drive is just refusing to spin up, instead it taunts me by going "click, click click". Not only did this mean I had to retype it (I had it all in a mixture of typed and handwritten pages) but I also wasted an hour booting off DVDs and trying to coax the machine back to life.

Luckily it's still under waranty; I'm taking it to the Apple service centre this evening. If you don't see me online for a few days, you know why. (I'll try to check my email once a day on campus but don't expect any long-winded responses.)
