Yeah, so I finally get the Powerbook back from Apple. Yep. Fried motherboard. I buy the new iLife, cause I'm a sucker like that, and begin the load and install. Of course, the Mac Guys forgot to reinstall my gig of memory, and I'm not trying (unknown to me) to rebuild a 17 gig iPhoto database on 256 megs of RAM. After nearly an hour, iPhoto hangs, forcing a restart. The library is corrupted, I can't open iPhoto at all, and now after near a month STILL can't access my photos. After an hour at the store and 45 minutes on the phone with Apple, I STILL have no photos, no iPhoto, and no ability to rebuild this database.

So, there was my day.
