Summary

Gene and Randall present UFO researcher and podcaster Martin Willis. Martin has been fascinated with the subject of UFOs since his youth, yet he was on the fence about the subject until he experienced a personal sighting in 2006 in Carmel Valley, CA. Pondering what UFOs may be, or if they are possibly extraterrestrial, helped spark his interest to another level. Martin thinks we may never find out what people are really seeing, but in his opinion, it is a most important and exciting puzzle to solve. Whatever the answer will be, he doesn’t think it will be mundane. In his day job, Martin is a longtime antique and fine art appraiser.

0:00.0	You're in the Paracast, the gold standard of paranormal radio.
0:28.0	And now, here's Gene Steinberg.
0:32.2	So last week, the show went normally.
0:36.8	We'll talk about our guests in a moment. But this week, the show went normally, we'll talk about her guest in a moment,
0:38.3	but this week we had kind of an unusual issue.
0:44.3	So I have this computer, people think I have all new equipment, I have a five-year-old Apple I-Mack, five-year-old. So what happened to the five-year-old Apple IMA. Five year old.
0:55.0	So what happened to the five year old Apple IMac?
0:58.0	It developed a bad hard drive, three terabyte hard drive.
1:02.0	Now this should be no big deal, right?
1:05.0	It's a special drive because it's part of a fusion drive where you mix a hard drive and a solid state drive to get
1:12.3	of a performance boost okay now i know most of you don't care about this unless you have an iMac
1:18.7	which many do and you have to wonder here what if the hard drive fails can i fix it and the answer is
1:26.2	yeah you can but you don't want to can, but you don't want to. And the reason you don't
1:30.2	want to is because in order to open the case to replace the drive, you have to pull the display
1:39.1	off the front, which is held by a special adhesive. So you have to pry off this adhesive and then undo, you know, very thin cable harnesses to get to the drive.
1:52.0	Probably take an experienced technician 15 to 30 minutes to do.
1:57.0	Then when all this is said and done, it's not super hard to replace the drive, you then have to get fresh adhesive and carefully place the display on top of the case.
2:10.6	Now, in terms of repairability, it's about a minus one. So most people, of course, would rather have the dealer do it, even if you're
2:21.1	skilled at servicing computers. And they can charge from $100 to $150 to do that service,
2:28.6	because they're taking the risk. It's about an hour, both ways, and you have to pay for the adhesive. That's
2:36.6	really complicated. So I let Apple do it. And Apple charges for the replacement, I won't give you
2:43.2	the price, less than the third party dealers, a lot less. Did they replace your data too, though?
