Bystanders with heavy equipment, utterly horrifying names, and food and movies
Unlicensed teened driver strikes, injures motorcyclist, attempts to flee scene; escape prevented by angry bystanders with front-end loaders.
This.. this is a truly horrifying set of actual things people have named their children. Hallah Lujah! Zestpoole! Blondeen! Aquanetta! Brinderella! Chod! Vvhs! Iron Rod! Jennyfivetina! Vinyl, Orlon, Chlorine! Hereditary! Justa Cowgirl! Thermos! Sambo! Walkasheaqua! Slaughter! Apathy! VulvaMae! Abcde! Vyquetoriya! LaDonnaJosephrania! And oh, so many more...
Went classy for lunch, for my last company-paid meal--Wolfgang Puck Express! Where else can you spend $17 on a bbq chicken & provolone sandwich, a small bowl of mac&cheese, and a soda? During the flight, watched I, Robot, which was pretty cool. After I got back to VA, I drove straight to Matt & Steph's house, where we collectively failed to convince my Powerbook, or Matt's iBook, to see or fix my Powerbook's hard disk. Guess I'll see what the local Apple store has to say, then look into data recovery (and extended Apple warranty coverage.) By that time, Matt's parents had arrived, and a tasty dinner was had; afterward, Matt and his dad fetched an ice cream cake from Coldstone. Mmm. We (Matt and I, and later everyone) watched some of Bike Build-Off, then about half of Legally Blonde 2: Red, White, and Blonde, followed by the new Stepford Wives. Kinda freaky, very entertaining. (Still want to see the original, and read the book.

Hmm. How might one acquire, and use, this MacDrive sofware? And can it be used without, say, disassembling the Mac laptop? And if I did send my laptop to y'all for service, would that void my Apple warranty? I rather think it would..

I think it's fully functional, but will stop working after 5 days.
I'm assuming you'd already pulled the hard drive to try to get it to work on other machines. If so, what you'd need to do is install macdrive on a desktop PC, connect the hard drive to the pc using a laptop adapter, like found here: http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat%5Fid=906&sku=17705
If the drive's still functional at all, and the adapter's hooked up correctly, the PC should mount the drive using the macdrive software and hopefully you can snag your files.
Of course, I can't guarantee it'd work, but it's probably worth a shot since it's a hell of a lot cheaper than data recovery.
If you've got the drive pulled from the system, you should be able to send it to us without voiding your warranty. If not, there's a possibility, since for some models, it requires essentially disassembling the entire computer.
