It’s been a while since I last wrote, and a lot has happened. First of all, my darling MacBook Pro has had to undergo emergency surgery, and is awaiting doctors diagnosis. You see, I was quite innocently working on some scripts, sitting in my lounge room, being, well… innocent. It all seemed fine, until it suddenly turned off. I instinctively turned it back on, assuming it was juts a minor crash. At that point, the white smoke that began to pour out of the vents, and in front of my screen got me worried. I quickly forced it to shut down, and haven’t turned it back on since.
Apple’s been relatively helpful, asking me a series of about 50 questions, such as “Was the fire department called?” and “Did you have to crawl out of the room, or could I walk?”. These gave me the impression that I wasn’t the first to have a potentially explosive computer. I’m still awaiting a diagnosis from Apple’s Engineering Team and I’ll fill you in more, as I find out.
