Last week, I killed my laptop (sorta) with the magnet that comes from the Apple iSight. I found it amusing to find that within a few days, a google of isight magnet currently returns my recent post, iSight magnet is teh suck. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only nitwit in the world that has accidently done this. Hopefully… people will learn from my mistake. Spread the word (digg)

I ended up sending my laptop to a company down in California called, TechRestore. 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’t want to attempt to open it the powerbook yourself.. these guys gave me good service.

When my laptop returned, I had a brand new Dell 20” widescreen monitor waiting on my desk to connect to it. :-)
