Techno Fail
It’s been an odd day for technology in my household. Firstly my wife’s iPhone decided that it wanted to be connected to iTunes which resulted in having to perform a restore, which I did and somehow got into a loop and wanted to keep being restored. In the end I decided to call Optus iPhone Support, and they advised to go into my local Optus Shop and get them to check it out. Turned out that it just needed to be activated, but they guy at the shop couldn’t explain why it wouldn’t activate for me at home.
Finally, my HP notebook decided to call it quits last night. The strange thing about it was that I used it about 30 minutes earlier, then wanted to use it again, and it would not wake up. I powered it down, and rebooted, but nothing would happen. All the lights came on, but no boot sequence.
I got on to a HP technician and he walked me through some steps, and concluded that it needs to be sent in for repair. Well, I figured that much. Luckily we purchased an extended warranty, so the claim has been submitted, and now I just have to arrange to have it picked up from my home. Now that is good service, don’t have to pay for a thing. 
Now, hopefully they don’t take forever to send it back.
