I'm back

[avram]

I have successfully raised my computer from the dead.

Seems it was just the hard drive. I swapped out the old, dead 100 GB drive for the 320 GB drive I had sitting around. There were a lot of screws involved, and I had to zip out to the hardware store at one point to get a better #00 Phillips-head screwdriver than the one I was using, but aside from that things went pretty well. Oh, and Migration Assistant bogged down while porting my Applications folder across, so I had to finish that up by hand.

So I’m back, with 200+ GB of free hard drive space that I don’t know what to do with.

Whooo! Go you! :)

I am impressed. I couldn't swap out a hard drive to save my life ... not without someone by my side going, "No, not that thing, that thing ... take it out!" >;)

I say fill it with art and other cool stuff. I miss your art. You should post that stuff here ... or if you post it elsewhere, you should tell me where. :)

It's easier if you practice on some desktop systems; they have more space, so it's easier to get at the components. And generally you've got a set of instructions telling you what to do.

Oh, and I sometimes drop artwork into my Flickr account.
