Technology withdrawal....fear and trembling

[jawnbc]

I hear ya bearchow, I hear ya.

The other night at querrelle's, the screen on my Apple Powerbook G4 DVI went totally dim. Not black, but very very dim. Max got to see my first hissy fit (for about 30 seconds).

Yesterday it seemed fine, but as the day wore on it started flickering. And once I attached my iPod, it dimmed again. The guy at the Apple Centre thinks it might be the monitor. $2k to replace that.

Wait--he just called, and it tests OK. But I've asked him to keep testing it on battery power. There is definately a problem.

Now I must go and get ready for my fantabulous spa weekend with the man I love!!!!

Totally, truly, lustily love!

Yup, I have a TiBook as well, one of the first ones. It needed warranty replacement within the first week. Now the DVD-ROM drive is failing and the keyboard is wearing out.

At least my hinges haven't broken, and my paint isn't peeling. I baby it as best I can, but one of these days something major is going to fail and I'm going to have to replace it. I think the new 12" looks pretty solid.

Or maybe - dare I say it - a tablet PC...

I thought about a tablet, but most of them are so ... heavy ... and most of them can't be a stand-alone computer ...
