The machine finally locked-up late in the afternoon, I was busy doing something else I had to finish before going to baby-swimming, so I did not have time to return the PowerBook, but I will do so tomorrow.
I hope this whole business will resolve soon, since I have a lot of work to do and I am kind of in laptop limbo with backups on CDROMs and running of two-machines in parallel, my mail is in IMAP and code is in CVS, but I still have a lot of documents, off-line mail, sql-ledger and you know, files, stuff and other stuff and some more stuff and files.
I need to make a permanent backup strategy so I don not get caught in laptop limbo again and I need to be better to add documentation and other non-code, but related files to CVS.
