I'm glad you were able to rescue it, even if the base machine was toast.
Thanks, I am too. Now I'm fighting with the migration assistant, which decided to make TWO users for me, but the data is there somewhere. Huge relief.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

All is well that ends in pizza.
Kristin,
As usual with Apple devices, should you and ND decide to chuck the remains of your old Macbook/Powerbook, I would love to be considered a repository for the challenge. (minus the HDD, of course).
I also understand ND's likely desire to check it out himself...or save it for parts.

Daniel, since my tech goddessyness remains somewhat superficial, I am not planning to put this scary pile o' parts back together. I will let ND look at it, but if he doesn't want it, the pieces will head your way.
I can send you the original 80GB drive, actually, once we purge it. The one I removed was the new 160GB.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks, tommy. I'm just too tired and petulant to do it right right now. Tomorrow, maybe.
I was just looking forward to Norton, you know?

That would be great, Kristin.

Trust my rage
Just wanted to say that I'm very impressed with Kristin's mad tech skills. Seriously.

Just wanted to say that I'm very impressed with Kristin's mad tech skills. Seriously.Thanks! I really am rather ridiculously proud of myself. I ended up having to reinstall Leopard in order to migrate my data directly and lose the dual user problem, though, so it took longer than it should have. But right now? Fully functional shiny new laptop with all of my files and preferences and bookmarks and everything.
The alarm is going to go off in four and a half hours, but I'm trying not to think about that.

Our wings are not tired
Looks like I just missed Kristin.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
AT&T is offering refurb 8G iPhones for $249. [link] Someone tell me why I don't want this.
Go you with your mad skillz, Kristin.

So by default there's nothing free to compress in Windows, right?
Huh? XP has built in zip compression utilities. Right click --> Send to --> Compressed (zipped) Folder.
