Computer Down

• March 1st, 2006 • • computers •

Bummer! Neptune went to visit the “Mac Geniuses” last week, and news was not good. Apparently she suffers from what is known as OLDNESS. The Mac Dude behind the bar ran all the diagnostics he could, and another ol’ Mac guy on my side of the bar marveled at the older machine. Outch, man.

While Neptune isn’t completely dead, I cannot risk working on it as there have been too many problems and SNAFUs which warranted a trip to the computer store in the first place. So! I’m stuck on the laptop, which is not really equipped for all the graphic work I do, plus it has a tiny screen that makes me cry.

Thus is born the Savings-o-meter to help me save for my new computer. Fortunately a recent birthday gave me a head start (Thank you, relatives!). In the meantime, I wonder what to do with an almost-working Mac G4. Rip it apart? Sell the remains? Mod it? (Even though it would be a semi-working mod?) Try to make an unreliable server? I’m not sure I have the time or the competence to do anything worthwhile with Neptune.

…anyone wanna buy a broken Mac?
