Dead Mac in the middle of my desk, or the Ides Of March came two days later
A new era is (reluctantly) beginning at Stuck In A Pagoda and So Hot She Shits Fire.
This morning, my beloved Apple PowerBook G4 died on me. The hard drive simply refused to cooperate anymore. It gave me three and a half years of good service before its sudden passing.
I had an odd premonition about the imminent demise of my machine over the weekend and backed up to burnable media the two items most important to my personal and (intended) professional world: my Microsoft Word files and my iTunes files. Everything else can be easily downloaded.
I am presently working with a borrowed laptop running Windoze XP and thanks to some bad timing (I’m trying to budget for both car insurance and my impending marriage in 2010), buying a new Mac will have to wait several months, barring a financial miracle. For now, future posts will be coming from a new Dell laptop that I will be ordering later this afternoon.
If anyone wants to start a fundraiser to help get me back to the land of Mac OS X before the end of the year, I’m all for it.
