In the long running nightmare that has been 3rd lost disk in almost as many months, the 5 days spent recovering data, the purchase of a new solution I am nearing the end of the marathon, to make life a little easier I took out the USB extender cable that came with my Apple keyboard so that I could (more) easily hook up the external drive I've recovered data to on my Macbook so I can start sorting out pictures again (in Aperture my new toy) only to find there is a small ridge inside the female end which means a normal USB male can't enter, it's like some weird Apple Male only chastity belt.
Maybe it's the stress of fookin around with disks and data for several days but this discovery has really pissed me off for some reason.... or it could be I'm less forgiving in my new non-smoking mode
