All hail Mike! (No, not you, satyadasa.)

[mayhap]

I think my computer just likes for me to take it downtown to the Apple Store as often as possible, because when I troubleshoot it? Nothing happens. Not even when I get on the phone with tech support as I do it. But when Mike, the cool guy behind the Genius Bar, troubleshoots it? Voilà. That which was dead is now living.

So, uh. Thanks to everyone for bearing with me last night whilst I was freaking out in your general direction. Hopefully you are all having a lovely winter or summer solstice, as the case may be, and a happy yuletide uploading day where applicable!

Crazy voodoo magic. I mean, they booted it off an external Firewire drive instead of the OS X install DVD in order to run the disk utility, but I can't see why that would suddenly make my HD visible and non-dead.

Too too weird.
