Damn, sorry to hear that. I too have been surviving on a “getting older by the day” macbook pro that is currently without a battery. How I love the feeling when one of my kids runs over and “accidentally” knocks out the power cable (is now a good time to thank apple for the easy to remove magnetic power connector on the macbooks?). And now I am faced with the question…new jewelry item for my wife this Valentines day…or new computer for me and my business??? What to do, what to do.
If nothing else…might I suggest that this would make a good pod cast episode. Evaluating the most Mac for your buck…what you REALLY NEED to design. For all those designers that insist they NEED a new Mac Pro with at least 8GB of RAM and a 2TB hard drive to be a successful designer…even though that aren’t on Lucusarts speed dial for digital animation.
Just a thought.
Good luck Nate.

Maybe the Joker killed your iMac?

Should have mentionedâ€¦ yes. Time Machine backups have been running since last spring. So it’s all on the external hard drive somewhere. Though I’m not sure if my bonus digital copy of The Dark Knight got backed up. I think there was about an hour between downloading that via iTunes and the total failure of my system, soâ€¦ I guess I’ll have to check on that.

Solidarity, brother. I feel for you. Did you at least have all your data on external HDs or some online backup system?
