The last time my hard drive failed, they told me if I had any further problems they'd try to get me a brand new Mac. It's had a difficult service history.
Today's symptoms:
- iMovie will not Force Quit when hung
- iMovie will not open
- System hangs on boot when external drives are connected
- can not capture video via firewire from the system FW 400 port
- can not capture video via firewire from an attached La Cie FW 800
- intermittent scrolling
A client reminded me that I lost my hard drive recently, and then yesterday I lost a whole Final Cut Pro project. From their perspective, my Mac experience doesn't sound so good.
It's as good point, but even with all the failures, I still prefer Mac to PC.
I hope I get a quick and acceptable solution today.
