The reason it's been so quiet...

...at least on my end, has been that I have been without a functioning computer for the past 48 hours.

Because I followed the manufacturer's instructions.

I normally use a MacBook Pro, my third Apple laptop, purchased to replace a PowerBook G4, which replaced another PowerBook G4, which replaced a Linux desktop.

The MBP was purchased on January 9th. Five months to the day, I installed a firmware update that the Software Update application would not stop telling me to install. When I rebooted...it didn't reboot. No chime, nothing. When I called support, they had me burn a "Firmware Restoration CD" on my old Powerbook, which thankfully works fine with an external keyboard and monitor. Nothing.

I'll be trying to get my data off the machine, because Apple will deny the problem was caused by their update, attribute it to a bad logic board, and do a warranty replacement, which will take too long during a time when I need a laptop. So, I'll probably be going back to Linux.

Thanks, Apple.

Online pharmacies are easiest way to buy the drugs. The best thing about the online pharmacies is that they sell the drugs at the affordable rates, which suits customer the most. Another important advantage of the online pharmacies is that you get the medicine without anyone knows about it. In fact I would say online pharmacy www.drugstoregenerics.com is the best place to buy the medicines related to the sexual health ailments. The trend of online pharmacy is ruling the drugs market today because of the additional benefits it is providing to the customers.

I lately found your blog/website and have really enjoyed reading this and some of one's other posts. I believed I would dive out in the shadows and leave my very first comment. I'm not certain what to say other than I have enjoyed reading and will continue to visit as frequently as I can.
