Bitch... Bitch... Bitch

It's been pouring down rain all day and all night for the last three days (and there's no real end in sight) on top of that I just spent the last 24 hours working on, fretting about, prayer for, screaming at, pounding on, and taking deeeeeeep cleansinnnnnnnnggggg breeeeeeaaaaatttthhhhhhs over my dead computer that simply decided to up and stop exactly 24 hours ago.

The good news in that story is two-fold;

1) I am three blocks from the Apple Store and in a town with several independent Apple repair people so I can get a solid amount of assistance in the trouble shooting area.

2) About 30 minutes ago, the machine just, all of its own accord, decided to up and start working again.

The thing is... now I still don't have a good idea as to why it did what it did or what I really ought to do about it given the fact that I head back to The Crescent City in less than a week.

It's been an interesting day.

---Hey! It just stopped raining!

And let's not forget... this is a Mac laptop that has been literally bashed around, thrown around, dumped in vans on the excape from Katrina, dropped on the pavement on more than one occasion and generally aboused beyond belief for nearly four years.

As John Cameron Swasey used to say in the Timex commercials...

"It takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'." It's back now too ya know.

Ah yes... but "working" in the PC world isn't really the same as working in the real world now, is it?

so your argument is PCs are so crap you can't tell if they're full of water or not? can't argue with that!
