I found my Applecare certificate! It’s still under warranty, baby!

So I took my laptop into the Genius Bar today and the guy there basically told me what I already suspected: it’s likely a problem with the logic board on my PowerBook. Since I really kind of needed this computer as a secondary, and I’m not quite ready to buy a new MacBook Pro yet, I’m going to get it repaired. But first, I have to backup the data from it.

But since the computer isn’t working I have to take the hard drive out, put it in an enclosure, and hook it up to another one of my Macs and copy the data. But I don’t have another hard drive around that’s big enough to hold all of that data, so I have to buy one. And I can’t find either of my 2.5″ enclosures, I think might still have them. I do have a 3.5″ enclosure, though. So I could get a 3.5″ drive that’s like 300GB and really cheap and it would work.

As funny as it would be to walk into Fry’s and buy a 3.5″ drive and a 2.5″ enclosure and see if anyone noticed.
