Impromptu TimeMachine test

When I’m depressed I have this thing of dreaming violent dreams and acting them out in reality. The other night I dreamt that I was at the liquor store and got in to a fight with two men. I woke up with a bang when I kicked my laptop of the table beside my bed, seeing it banging to the floor. The hard drive worked for about a day, and then gave up. So I had a good reason to test TimeMachine, and it has worked perfectly! So now I’m up and running again with more free space on my computer than the old total disk space. It even seems a bit faster because this disk i 7200 RPM. 320 mb in a 2.5″. I remember the first hard drive I used. It was a Corvus 5 megabyte drive for the Apple II in the size of a small refrigerator. I think it’s swedish price was something like $8000. Yet a big upgrade from my first “real” storage device (not counting cassette player) wich was a dual 5 1/4 floppy at a wopping 140kb per disk (yes kids, that’s 140 KILOBYTES!) And those where real floppys, because, well, they where physically floppy.
