Well, got it back last night. The apple store employee was stunned I was less than pleased at the hard disk being wiped! I expected it, but was hoping against it. The official report says that the hd wouldn’t mount. Worked fine when it went in. Visualize this: it goes in for a sound problem, a failure to sync on one account, and they nuke the hard drive. Lazy!
CARBONITE appears to be working at restoring my data. It appears to take a whole day to restore it all. We’ll see! I know that DROPBOX has my data as well.
It is just a big PIA to restore all the software and configure it!
