It appears that I am now the proud owner of a very expensive, shiny, silver Mac paperweight.
It has been delivered to the Apple store to see if anything can be done to either resurrect it or reclaim the data from the hard drive.
I’m trying to put this all behind me and pretend that I am over it, but it is a difficult thing to have so much one day, and so little the next.
Let this be a warning to you all —— Back-up, Back-up, Back-up. Do it now. Do not risk losing your data, files, photos, music, e-books, etc. as I may have done.
On a more positive note – today it was 20 degrees in Shijiazhuang! Just like fall. We’ve had tons of rain so everything is very green, too. I enjoy a green, lush environment with fog and mist, but it is not too conducive to flying, and I fear that within all that fog and mist lurks a bevy of chemicals and smoke particles. NICE!

Hey, I just stumbled across your blog and wanted to ask you a question. I have only been in Shijiazhuang for a month, and my Mac laptop is having some problems. I heard there was an Apple store here, but I don’t know where it is at. Did you take yours to the Apple store here, or did you ship it somewhere? If you know where it is, could you tell me?
Hi Andrea, When I was living in Shijiazhuang, there was no Apple store or Apple dealer, so I took my computer to Beijing to the Apple dealer that I bought it from, at Buy Now Computer Market. They had no problem fixing it. Now there is an Apple store in Beijing at the Village shopping center in Sanlitun. If I had a problem today, that is where I’d go, or you could try one of the Apple dealers at the big computer market in Shijiazhuang, close to the train station.
