Well, if it proves anything, it’s how lucky I was to get all my stuff off it in the 24 hours during which my PowerBook briefly sprung back to life. Without any warning, it booted up, not looking quite right, but at least letting me grab everything out of my mailboxes and Documents folder and back them up on an external drive.

Now, though, it’s as dead as dead can be. It won’t boot. The drives won’t mount, and they can’t even be formatted or partitioned for a nice clean wipe.

So now I’m setting it up all over again, this time installing the OS to an external drive and using that as my boot disk. I must admit, though, that a snazzy new MacBook Pro is starting to look decidedly tempting right now. I must be well behaved, though, and hang out for a possible Intel-based Mac mini before too long.
