As I was thinking of going to bed, I thought I should write a post here, but didn’t know what to talk about, so I closed the lid of my laptop and after it went to sleep, I put it in my backpack to have it ready for tomorrow.
Then I thought, hmm…maybe I should backup my data using Time Machine, it seems really simple and I do have a handy external hard disk. I had read somewhere (or come to think of it, it was an Apple video) that on the first run, it’ll take some time to back-up everything, so I thought I’ll remove the battery and just use AC until the morning. One minor mistake was that I took the battery out before plugging it in. As I plugged it in, I noticed the sleep indicator was not blinking, and then it hit me! I thought I had lost the work I was doing, the programs that were open and just lost track of what I was doing in general. You see, one thing I love about the laptop is that in the middle of any work I can just close the lid, pick it up and then continue later exactly where I left off. It’s brilliant that way, but it needs the battery–or so I thought. So, now I thought I’d lost my reading place, if you will.
I plugged the laptop in, pressed the power button, and …wait, what’s this I see…wait a sec, it’s the Dashboard which I left open with my to-do list! I was ecstatic to see that! It hadn’t lost a thing! Wow! الْحَمْدُ للّهِ (btw, that means Praise be To God in Arabic)! Amazing.
P.S.: You should know that the laptop I’m talking about is my new macbook (exactly a week old) and yup, you guessed it, it was Designed by Apple in California

Update:
I forgot to mention what happened with my backup. Nothing, it turns out I need to check what in my external hard disk before I format. We’ll leave that for another day.
