If you are interested, there's a vegetarian wine dinner at Circa downtown on Wed., Sept. 3. <br/><br/>It's five courses, but only 3 are vegan (not dessert and not the flan). However, the chef told me vegans could have extra of repeat courses to make up. It's $55 and you get a glass of organic wine with each course. <br/><br/>Vaughan and I are DEFINITELY going...let me know if you wanna come and we'll make reservations for a bigger group. It's kinda pricey but I wanna support Chef John Bragg for going out on a limb like this...plus, he's serving Cassoulet with Mock Duck and White Beans. Hey!

Our hard drive died a few years back, and it really is hard to realize all your files are gone. What idiots at the Apple store, I tried to deal with the Geek Squad earlier in the year. They wanted to take my computer for a week and charge me 100 for what I had already told them what the problem was. ugh, idiots. Eek, so sad to hear about your computer issues.

Apple's standard operating procedure is that the GB will install only the latest operating system on restores or replaced hard drives. This can cause a problem with older software on your machine, thus, forcing you to upgrade other things = more $$$. I think it's a scam that smacks of possible kickbacks. We've been through this scenario with the GB and so have 3 of our clients. Going to the GB is now my absolute last resort. As for backups, I use a 100GB external for manual backups when traveling with my laptop and a tape system with Retrospec in the office. Our back ups have saved our asses zillions of times. Just make sure you choose 'archive' instead of rewriting the tape each day/week. If you accidentally deleted something two weeks ago, you'll still be able to recover it with an archive-type backup.

That sucks about your computer. I've been thinking about that lately. I need to back up my recipes for the cookbook. They're all saved to a hard drive, but no back-ups. I need to buy a flash disk thingy, like um, today.<br/><br/>Glad you're back though. It's awesome that Vaughan's been getting you catering work! Hope to see you soon!

I am so sorry for all that you have lost off your computer, especially the photos. The family friend could not retrieve them somehow? At least all those catering jobs kept you occupied while you were without internet. I am suddenly starving after reading your post. and by the way, I MISSED YOU! OH NO!

I’ve never had a good time at the Genius Bar. A little too pretentious sometimes….

I always have nice little arts and crafts style notions about apple, and than I remember that they are a corporation. bastards. <br/><br/>The sushi rolls sound great...Good luck with the next little bit. You sound busy and stressed...be well! Hey

Poor thing. Sorry about your computer trouble. Doesn't that just bite. And I hate it when they keep this "mystique" about fixing things which is one of the reasons I learned how to take care of my own computers many years ago. I'm sure it is more complicated with a MAC though - well maybe not complicated but I don't know anything about them.<br/><br/>I back up everything on my external Terabyte drive. They are cheap now and portable. You can also use file saving online - my host offers it and it is great.<br/><br/>Sorry to hear about the Brit's Uncle. Sad time.
