Looks like I'll get the drive back soon. First I got a call from the Emeryville store, then I got a call from a person in Apple Executive offices (she gave me her name and number, but I'm not going to publish it here). I'll report back when I have more info. PS: The number of idiotic comments has gone way up.

Gabe: Sorry for the late comic strip today. It was just a little more than I was able to get done in one day. I ended up having to finish it up this morning. I've had some requests for wallpapers of the relief at the top of the Olympus and I'll try and get something like that out.

Tycho:  I understand he's posting these around his neighborhood, now, and I mean real Gabe, not the jpeg Gabe like you might see sur le web. If you did find it, I wouldn't bring it back to him. The most likely scenario is that he will assume that you're the one who stole it, and your "reward" will be a savage karate style maneuver delivered to your "sack of toys."

By Dwight Silverman, Houston Chronicle  Feb. 27--Sick puppy that I am, I love a good computer problem. When issues arise, it's an opportunity to learn something new.   However, I'm not so warped that I don't want to find a solution eventually.

Of all the comments on the hard drive, and there have been hundreds, this one explains it best. I'm sorry to hear about your experience at the Apple Store. I was a "genius" for a year and can assure you that the policy regarding HDs was frustrating to us as well. In warranty it wasn't so hard to justify, but out of warranty customers often had a problem with it. My recommendation to them (and to you) is the same. AASPs often do not have the same contractual obligations with HD manufacturers that Apple does, so they may very well let you keep it. If you still wanted to have it done through an Apple store, take a magnet to it before you hand it over. The techs have better things to do than trawl through your personal data (there are exceptions, of course), but if it sets your mind at ease- go for it. Honestly, I would do this in your position because I have read of people getting reman drives with other people's data still on them. But that would have nothing to do with Apple and everything to do with the companies contracted to remanufacture the HDs.Not much more to say after that. I will probably write a summary tomorrow.
