Damn… just when i was all geared up to start work, my mbp just chose to give me a black screen of death. I narrowed down the problem to my GPU when i tried connecting it to a monitor. F7 simply does not switch the screen. Luckily everything else was intact when i could hear music with Last.fm activated with quicksilver.

The saviour of the night is my somewhat old iMac, a firewire cable and migration assistant on the mac. My MBP user workspace was all up and running in two hours of full user account migration. Everything remained the same (even desktop image and Stickies notes). Phew!!
