It was failing, but now it's not? Wednesday morning, I woke up to my Powerbook stalling. I got the beachball of doom when I tried to log in from sleep and it lasted 20 minutes, so I powered off and rebooted. On reboot, it took 30 minutes plus to load to the desktop, and my desktop icons didn't appear. I held the book to my ear and heard it -- yes, the "click of death."

My Mac powerbook crashed. I had backed up 99% of everything, so it wasn't as painful as it could have been. But for some weird reason iPhoto doesn't show that I have any photos.

Mac gurus: the last couple of days my 867 TiPowerbook has been behaving erratically. The transfer rate of the harddrive seems to have slowed right down, so even though the drive sounds normal, it's accessing
all the time. Lots and lots of drive activity and pinwheeling, but barely any results.
