So last night we had a power flicker. I was sitting on the bed with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
echan and the cats at the time, and couldn't see my monitor. "How's my computer?" I asked her.
Cue: Mac start-up sound.
She said, "Well, there's your answer."
It started back up, I had to tell it the router password it had forgotten yet again (we are lesbians! well, mostly. Me more than her. My point is, it's a memorable password!), and I got most of my regular round the clock stuff started back up. I did not open Final Cut last night because it was late and I needed to go to bed soon.
This morning I opened up Final Cut and it asked me for my serial number.
I had one on hand! The upgrade serial number. FCP asked me for the original install serial number. I'm sure if I'd had the original it would have wanted the upgrade. I have everything else from the original box, all the manuals... but not the serial number.
I'm planning to call AppleCare when I get home today and see if I can bludgeon one out of them. I got off of work an hour early to get on that sooner--onlyechan isn't picking up the phone, so I'll probably sit on the curb reading Sundiver for an hour instead.
AppleCare should help me. Even if they can't make it immediately all better, we do have an exported copy ofechan's completed Club Vivid vid. I might be up shit creek but her hard work is saved outside of FCP.

Third time's the charm?
Computer geekery is now a lesbian trait too!? Damn you, lesbians, stop recruiting all the women with hot skills with your sapphic wiles!
