I found it amusing to find that within a few days, a google of <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=isight+magnet">isight magnet</a> currently returns my recent post, <a href="http://www.robbyonrails.com/articles/2006/08/11/isight-magnet-is-teh-suck">iSight magnet is teh suck</a>. It&#8217;s nice to know that I&#8217;m not the only nitwit in the world that has accidently done this. Hopefully&#8230; people will learn from my mistake. <a href="http://www.digg.com/apple/Apple_iSight_destroys_Powerbook_hard_drives">Spread the word</a> (digg)</p> <p>I ended up sending my laptop to a company down in California called, <a href="http://www.techrestore.com">TechRestore</a>. They were unable to talk to the harddrive and installed a new 120gb one in my powerbook and sent it back within just a few days. I shipped it on Monday and got it back on Friday morning. If you need a harddrive upgrade and don&#8217;t want to attempt to open it the powerbook yourself.. these guys gave me good service.</p> <p>When my laptop returned, I had a brand new Dell 20&#8221; widescreen monitor waiting on my desk to connect to it. :-)</p> Sat, 19 Aug 2006 11:54:00 -0500 urn:uuid:1b8cbdaf-6b83-457b-8bd6-f03a4f84644e Robby Russell http://www.robbyonrails.com/articles/2006/08/19/laptop-back-with-more-disk-space isight apple powerbook harddrive dell <p>Sorry about your hard drive, but you&#8217;ll enjoy that monitor.
