Week 2, 2012
Joensuu, Finland

After working with Sr’s HD the whole Thursday evening and the complete Friday, we declare that Sr’s HD must be changed. For those who use apple computers might be aware that in emergency cases, as this one,  one should contact a MacAuthorize Specialist to keep some warranty (yes a “luxury” of an expensive membership to Mac products). I am located in Joensuu, and the closest Mac Service Centre to my location is in Jyväskylä (~246 km away). Oh man! so we drove over six hours on Saturday only to bring Sr to an authorized “Mac Hospital”.

Driving from Joensuu to Jyväskylä @ ~7:30 am (road 23)

Someone could ask me why I did not send Sr via snail-post. I had two  reasons to bring it personally: (1) I did not have the proper package to wrap Sr and (2)  honestly I wanted to talk face-to-face with whom  would be responsible of Sr.

Next Monday I should know what is going on with this story. I hope Sr is back home soon!

By the way, I am writing this post from an almost 10 years old laptop, compaq nx 9005, which is SLOW but working perfectly 🙂 . We looked for a newer laptop at the EdTech lab, but it is nothing available so, learning to work with the resources available. 🙂 Also I want to thank  Mikko for all the support in this Mac  adventure.
