Success! I have a housemate!
Nov. 16th, 2005 12:31 pmThe commute home was incredibly suckful yesterday, and I thank my lucky stars to have such a brave, experienced, and PATIENT carpool driver as ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pyat. He r0x0rs.
( The deal on the housing situation. The short version? Femmefatalist rocks and we're looking for a two bedroom together, and I'm very happy. )
As for the iBook, I am definitely buying a new computer. I'm contemplating the idea of buying through Best Buy, which has an extended warranty which is more affordable than AppleCare.
( musings on the laptop and different purchase/warranty options )
And lastly... anyone have any idea how hard (or easy) it is to extract the hard drive from my old laptop, and use my iPod (or any other method) to transfer the data from there to my new laptop once I've got it? Light Computer Centre will charge me $50 to do this, and back when the last laptop disaster happened, the Apple Store charged me $100.
Edit Apparently I could also trade in my laptop at Carbon Computing, in Toronto or Waterloo, for about $125-150 credit on a new laptop. That's something. CPUsed has to diagnose the laptop before they'll make an offer for trade-in, but my impression was that it would not be much money, given the situation with my power cord and the logic board.
