And so my mac went and died

I am feeling something awful now. So my mac just went and died, and it refuses to switch on now, and I have gigs and gigs of my life in it, and it had to die just as I was trying to copy stuff onto my external hard disk, and I’m now feeling extremely lost and lonesome and empty and I know it’s awfully stupid to be so attached to a spinning lump of metal, but that’s the way it is, and I need my life back.

Argh.
