My notebook conked out today...

So my notebook crashed this afternoon wasn't doing anything just playing podcasts, I noticed it stopped abruptly (I was doing some paperwork) and when I check the system was unresponsive. I hit the power button to reboot and the poop hit the fan.

Tried to boot into safe mode -- no joy
Tried to repair the MBR -- no joy

So I went ahead and reformatted.

My backups are current so I'm not worried about data loss. It's just a chore to rebuild a system just the way you like it.

This is the 3rd major issue I've had with this notebook, I'm not blaming Acer entirely though.

My friends are advising me to switch to a Mac, but I am apprehensive.

Aside from the obscene Apple tax, I'm just too comfortable with Windows 7.

I suspect an HDD issue, so I will be observing the system as I rebuild.

Coron Labor Day Weekend Getaway

The weather wasn’t as cooperative as we would’ve liked but I think we made the most of it :D [waiting for our flight to Busuanga] We went to the saltwater hot spring, island hoping, and had a whole lot of fun at Loralee’s luau. [The water is FIIIIINE!!!] [dinner at Bistro Coron] [Happy Birthday Loralee :D] Coron is one heck of a lovely place… just remember to bring mosquito repellent. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bnycastro/tags/coron_0509
