My computer is on its deathbed, I get it. I don’t have to hear the death rattle to know its days are numbered. But yet my iBook has to keep reminding me that it’s a hunk o’ junk. In fact, it throws it in my face in the form of an obnoxious beach ball that frolics all over my screen, mocking me and my three-year-old equipment.Apparently, my rotten Apple can’t keep Word from quitting on me but it can still muster up the energy to flip me the rainbow bird.
I hate to wait to begin with. Throw the spinning Trivial Pursuit pie into the mix and you have a serious suck cocktail. Since baby needs to blog, I have to resist the urge to punch my laptop in its smug but increasingly ineffective LCD face. But on the rainbow brite side, while I wait for the beach ball to get its yayas out, I have ample time to think about how I'm going to burst this trouble bubble when I finally upgrade.

And yet the Mac enthusiast will claim that their equipment NEVER crashes. Hmmm. I've seen enough of the spinning beach ball of death to last me a lifetime, thankewverymuch.
ReplyDeleteThere's a difference between "crashed" and "too old and slow to handle the kind of files you're trying to move." Time to add memory!
ReplyDeleteI get this too! What's the best way to add memory? Seriously.
ReplyDeleteGo to the apple store and get more memory. That's what I did.
