Down. but not out
Been out of commission the past couple of days with a laptop computer problem where my kernel (Mac OS X is based on a BSD UNIX kernel) has been panicking regularly. While it usually panics shortly after login and before the desktop is fully rendered, I've had it occur at the login screen, too. Normally, with a full kit up and out, I would probably have backed everything up to another hard drive and wiped the laptop's drive and reinstalled, but everything I have is packed in boxes right now so I've been looking for alternatives. Probably going to grab myself a FireWire drive to make this process simpler (and make for easier backups in the future).
