I hadn’t encountered the #blackScreenOfDeath in many years, but Wednesday, I fried the USB port on my MacBook Pro. I’m always charged with static electricity, and I dzzz it.
A few years ago, my boyfriend spilled water on the keyboard, so there’s also damage to the screen and parts inside. Repair would have cost around 2300$… 😱 It served for three and a half beautiful years (I bought it back in January 2013).
An old computer is like old slippers. I think that the Cloud is such a wonderful thing to keep our basic and not so private information in. My new MacBook Pro almost feels like home and the transition is much less tedious compared to what it use to be when you had to change computers before the Cloud.
It’s also a nice opportunity to do a clean up of old files. Start fresh. But it also waists a lot of time. I find it a very stressful change even if I know it’ll be over in a few days. I hope this Mac will last longer then the previous one, and yes… I’ll be careful with water spills and static shocks!!!
I will use the old MacBook Pro as the family computer. It’s not reliable anymore to use as a working station, and it runs only an old version of OSX.
Anyone has a good story with the Black/Blue Screen of Death? 🙂
