Oh Good!! The curtains are on fire...
In my insane and unreelenting desire to have a nice computer, Ryan and I attempted to install Mac OSX Panther since I am one of the last five mac users on earth still using Jaguar. To make a long story short, I'm typing this on H's computer because he is sleeping and my computer will no longer start up.
I'm fairly sure this is my fault, because I accidentally told it to "look for network" or something like that. So this makes me reasonably confident that Ryan will be able to fix it, or ask someone how to fix it. That little waiting icon just keeps spinning and spinning while I envision everything I've written in the last 2 months being lost forever. Fie!!!
Anyway, I might not be around for a few days. Or at least I'll be around much less often than usual.
Unless of course somebody wants to donate $1500 to my new laptop fund.
I wonder if my renters insurance could cover it??? *ponders*
Of course this would happen during a week when![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
the_omega_man is actually posting again.
He is one of...well, the only person I've actually kept on my flist even though his journal was deleted.
I already miss:
itunes
solitaire
my manuscripts
my safari bookmarks
nano forums
and I'm sure I'll miss Email once I'm away from a computer for a day.
But on the lighter side, H's computer is fast and has a ginormous screen.
Compare my computer stats to H's, you'll laugh
Me: processor: 130m memory: 128mb hard drive: updated to 20gig OSX 10.2.8
H: processor: 1ghz memory: 640 mb hard drive: I think it's 60 but might be 80 OSX 10.4.3
And of course H has USB2 and firewire while I have a USB1 and a pretty much broken Cd drive.
So yeah...I'll see ya's when I see ya's.

Relax and have a homebrew!

But yeah, I'm hoping for Panther.
Re: Relax and have a homebrew!
I'm thinking that's what will end up happening, except that my CD drive is fucked. So they might have to put the HD into another computer, fix it, then put it back.
Hopefully I'll be back to business as usual by the end of the week.

Don't feel bad about the whole Panther thing, I have a friend who's still functioning on Mac OS 8, his computer is pretty old school, don't know how he gets anything done.
