I had been warned about the reliability of PowerBooks before buying mine. I thought: well, I had issues with all my PC laptops, I don’t think it can be any worse. Well, it turns out that I’m up for an “I told you so” card from my sysadmin. It took less than 45 days for my hard drive to have issues. It’s got to be a record.

After upgrading to OS X 10.4.3, my Mac rebooted and never came back. After rebooting and pressing ⌘-V, I had the displeasure of seeing “disk0s3: I/O error“, a message that I have unfortunately seen too many times on too many different computers. An fsck told me that my volume appeared to be OK. I beg to differ!

So I inserted my AppleCare CD and I’m going to let it do its thing and bring me the bad news tomorrow morning when I wake up.
