It no work...
So last night Furtle's MacBook died. The OS seems to be working, but the hard drive has expired, occasioning much wailing and gnashing of teeth. The damned thing is only about three years old.
Anyway, on the way home tonight I shall find my way to Maplin's on Tottenham Court Road and purchase a set of the teensy weensy screwdrivers we need to get in and remove the offending disc so we can identify it and purchase a replacement. Hopefully a bigger and better replacement. We are hopeful that we can get one at a reasonable price off the web, or at least from some store in Tottenham Court Road. If we go direct to Apple we will have to sell our souls to buy new kit.
Luckily there is nothing on the MacBook hard drive that she cares about or can't replace. Also, of all the bits that could implode, the drive is at least something we can sort and reinstall without taking a ticket and queuing up for help in the Apple Store...
