Lesson Learned.

I have been a "Mac Person" my entire life.

Laptops, desktops, iPods, iPhones, iPads--I have it all. 

And I have NEVER had a problem with any of my Apple products until now. 

I purchased a MacBook Pro about a year ago. I took it into the Apple store three times

before they finally told me my hard drive had crashed and they couldn't back anything up. 

I felt like I was on that Sex & the City episode when this happened to Carrie 

and everyone couldn't believe that she didn't "back up." 

Well, luckily I did back up my computer about four months ago.

But that still means I have four months of missing information that is no longer on my computer. 

Documents, pictures, music--gone. 

What made me so upset was that I took my computer in THREE times for the SAME reason--

the first two times they insisted that it was not my hard drive. 

The Mac "Geniuses" would work their magic and my laptop would work for a while. 

Unfortunately the third time I was not so lucky. SO, moral of the story is--BACK UP your computer! 

Now Apple is all fancy and has the Time Machine application and iCloud--

two things that I will now be using. 

Lesson learned.
