One month ago, shortly after the YAPC::EU 2009, my MacBook's hard disk died due to a head crash with only 2 years and 2 months. I used it intensively, but didn't expect such a short life.
Farewell, Seagate ST9160821AS
It could have been worse (e.g., a battery blast on my lap... ouch! I always use a lapdesk since I considered this possibility, not as remote as you might think, given the latest news related to explosions of Apple products), but I lost a lot of info, mainly blog posts related to programming. Fortunately, I had a backup of the most important stuff. The really good news is that now I will only need another two hundred years to process what's left (the disk failure trimmed around half a millennium from my backlog).
Anyway, I've already installed a new HD, a Seagate ST9500420ASG with 500 GB capacity and I should receive Snow Leopard anytime soon.
