Fedex reports that my MacBook enjoyed a brief visit to Anchorage and is now winging its way toward Chicago. I hope it wasn't too disoriented crossing the date line.
The help desk people were unable to recover anything from my crashed hard disk, so I am thinking about sending it out to a data recovery specialist just in case there's something on there I might want. Fortunately the important information is replicated (Lotus Notes databases) or backed up, for the most part. Later today I'm going to see if I can recover iTunes from the iPod.
UPDATE: I recovered the vast majority of the iTunes. My MacBook, born in China just a few days ago, is now sitting at the Fedex depot just three blocks from my Chicago apartment. Nice job, Apple.
LATER UPDATE: Fedex knocked on my door in Chicago, and I wasn't home. I'm still in Tokyo. My MacBook beat me to Chicago. Also, the polls are open in Connecticut as I write this update, and here's hoping that Ned Lamont defeats the odious Senator Lieberman. To my friends and family in Connecticut, please remember to vote early and often for Mr. Lamont.
EVEN LATER UPDATE: My MacBook has arrived. Fedex was able to deliver to my building's office. Tonight I fly to Chicago to catch up with it.
EVEN LATER THAN LATER UPDATE: Ned Lamont is now Connecticut's Democratic nominee for the 2006 U.S. Senate election. Thank you, Connecticut.
