I woke up this morning to the unpleasant surprise that my macbook no longer turns on. Just two days after finally getting my own personal internet connection, my world crashes in. I don't mean to be dramatic, but I am pretty panicky about what I will do for the next two months without a computer, not to mention my research, ah my research...all of it was there inside that damn machine. I absolutely hate the fact that I am so dependent on this small white box, which is now ruining my life or at least my project here in Ghana or so it seems...
The worst part is, personal computers are not that common and MACs are definitely a rarity so the chances of finding someone, anyone that can take a look at it is slim to none if I am at all realistic. I searched the Mac website for service providers and the closest seems to be somewhere in the middle east, gee, that does me a whole lot of good.
For now, the internet cafe man is trying to take a look at it...I already exhausted the trouble-shooting techniques provided online and I am about to head in to the city to the internet company that hooked up my wireless a few days ago...I have a sneaking suspicion their software has taken my operating system hostage, but my computer knowledge is about as extensive as my knowledge of mandarin (by that I mean zilch)...if anyone has any tips, please send them my way...thoughts, prayers, spells, luck charms, I don't know...anything would be appreciated at this point....
