Yesterday I picked up my iBook, and everything seems to work just fine.

All the data is there, and talking to the tech person, he mentioned that he took it all apart to replicate the disk, and then when he put it back together and run tests in a loop for 8 hours, found no errors or problems.

My 7 months old iBook is now dead.

Some days ago, applications started freezing up, most notably Safari. As this was after a Safari update, I chalked it to a buggy new release, mainly because Safari leaks memory like a colander, that is why I use Firefox. Then, the hard drive started making some noises, initially I thought that the machine was swapping too much because of memory leaks, or perhaps the hard drive was dying (but this is a 7 months old iBook, right?), so I decide to do a reboot.

Big mistake!
