Thpt. This wasn't meant to be a haiku. I was typing with my index finger
on a screen the size of a cruller. (Nice haiku on your part, though.
Though technically I believe they are supposed to be about nature and
stuff.)
ANyway, my computer is dead and I need to figure out how to finance buying
a new one. So it's a good thing you wrote this, so I could put an addendum
to the post in my comment.
(As you know, WD, I can't access DW from work but I CAN access my mail
from work, and thus I can reply to DW comments by email.)
Also ... this is where things stand at the moment. As I told WD, I'm
appending updates to comments since that's the easiest way for me to
update.
So. wry smile
written earlier:
So last night I came home and found my computer dead. I didn't realize it
/ want to think it at the time, as the power cord's light was off and I
thought the computer might have run down to nothing. So I called WD, left
Mr. Red Ted and TL messages, and made myself go to sleep. TL borrowed
Wolf's spare cord for me and I plugged in the computer and made myself go
back to sleep.
at 9:30, the computer, she was still a brick. I called WD and Mr. RedTed,
who came over to help, because they're both wonderful, and WD determined
that the computer could not be turned on. Mr. Redted took us to lunch and
my computer to the Apple People, and I went to work.
And hey, I haven't cried!
So for right now all my email is through my webmail at work, which has
considerable limitations (no access to files, must be interruptable) and
also I have not a computer and need to scrape together about $1500 for a
sutiable replacement.
My all-purpose toolkit contains a miniature rubber chicken, for those times when the only way you can fix something is to wave a chicken over it. (Seriously.) I'd visualize waving my chicken over your computer, but even that doesn't usually revive the dead :-(
May some MAC user you know suddenly decide to upgrade to a newer machine, and give you their used one!
