My Laptop Died

I am blogging at work, which I try not to do, for obvious reasons. Last night while I was ordering from Safeway, my laptop, which was making a weird moaning sound, froze and then died. This morning I tried to revive it, to no avail.

A few months ago, I made the decision that in 2007, I would get a new laptop, and it would be a Mac. I've always been a Windows girl, but decided it's time to change.

My current laptop is only two years old. It's too soon to die. I'm pissed at it. Even if my friend can get it back up and running, I feel betrayed now. I can't count on this not to happen again. So I just want to get my computer working long enough to extract all the things saved on there that I need.

I figured that this weekend I'd be spending twenty bucks, not over a thousand. Damn.

R.I.P. GY laptop, we hardly knew ye, maybe you'll meet up with my remotes, or the digital scale I inherited (No, that'll burn in hell)You're in a better place where you don't have to worry if YOUR batteries are one of the ones that seem to explode or catch fire without warning. No more crashes, or worrying about beverages being spilled on you. No more Sledgehammer, (the person or the song by Peter Gabriel) No more Clorox wipes. Will you dream? If HAL didn't know, I sure don't.
To quote Paul Newman in "Nobody's Fool" "Via Con Huevos"

Maybe you can get a Mac that matches your new lamp!
