Back from the computer place.

It's going to cost $165 an hour to look at my laptop.

I hate my life.

*nods* Shop around. I know that there are less people out there who fix macs than things with Windows on, but still. The people who wanted to charge that much? Probably want to make sure that they can afford plate their screwdrivers in solid gold.

The place was the actual Apple dealer - most places wn't even look at a Mac. It's the price I pay, I guess - Macs are far more stable and less likely to do spectacularly scary shit, but when they do, it costs you.

I'll run a search via the Yellow Pages and see if there's anyone else who will look at it cheaper, although I was so shell-shocked yesterday I handed the computer over with a "well, I need it fixed" kind of attitude. I'm not exactly great with the sensible decisions when I'm stressed.

*hugs* I getcha. I forgot that Macs are different to normal computers.

And yeah. *gives a general hug* Look after yourself.
