I did it!

I crashed my lab top the other day downloading updates. I got the gray screen of death and a stuck cd. So I made an appointment with the Apple Bar. Then it dawned on me at 12mn...I can do this! I got out the big thick manual that I bought and swore I would read, and figured it out. Not only did I reinstall everything but I figured out how to get back on the net! And then at 2am I went to bed!
